Undoubtedly the friends are illumined
with the light of the fear of God and are fully conscious of the need to purify
and protect their possessions in accordance with the decisive Words revealed by
our Lord, the Most High.
In these turbulent days, we that yearn
for Him, fervently turn in prayer to the court of the Lord of mankind that He
may graciously enable that august Assembly to repeatedly remind the lovers of
the Beauty of the All-Merciful of the vital importance and the binding
character of this sacred and heavenly injunction. Through issuing
announcements, distributing leaflets and in gatherings, schools and conferences
held by the followers of our Zealous Lord, they should be guided and encouraged
to observe strictly and conscientiously that which His divine commandment has
enjoined upon them, so that those believers who are adorned with the fear of
God may be shielded from the dire consequences foreshadowed in His ominous
warnings, may become the recipients of His assured blessings and be enabled to
partake of the outpourings of His infallible spiritual grace.
