abstract | Explains the meaning of the ‘most great infallibility’ and the nature of the authority of the Manifestations of God, proclaims the fulfilment of prophetic expectations derived from various passages in the Qur’an, recalls a vision of the personified virtue of trustworthiness, and proclaims nine ‘splendours’: religion as source of order in the world; the promotion of the ‘Lesser Peace’ by the rulers of the world; the commandments of God as source of life to the world; the importance of praiseworthy deeds and upright character; the conferral of government positions based on merit; union and concord among all people, which can be achieved by establishing a universal language; the importance of parenthood and the education of children; entrusting administrative affairs to the trustees of the House of Justice; and religion as the most potent instrument for establishing unity in the world. |
