12: Concerning the remnants of the martyrs' ...

1 |
Concerning the remnants of the martyrs' families, you have mentioned how eager they are to
hear a word of commendation assuring them that
this act of self-sacrifice and martyrdom will be
acceptable in the sight of God. Therefore, I mentioned
this matter in His holy presence and I am glad
to say that, in compliance with His instructions, a
compilation containing most of the Tablets which
have been revealed in honour of the martyrs of Yazd
and elsewhere has been prepared. I am now sending
it to you together with this letter. You may peruse
these Tablets and then recite them in the presence of
the remnants of those who have offered up their
lives in the path of God, that they may be fully aware
that those martyrs are well-favoured at the exalted
threshold of the Almighty, and that the merciful
glances of `Abdu'l-Bahá--may our souls be His
sacrifice--are at all times directed towards them.

On behalf of this bereaved and eager prisoner,
convey loving greetings and salutations to all the
handmaids of God there, particularly the remnants
of the martyrs' families--and give them the joyful
tidings that the memory of those dear souls, who
have laid down their lives in the arena of sacrifice,
has always been and will continue to be remembered
at the fellowship meetings and in His holy presence.
