Source (Arabic)
عليّ في الأفق الأعلی ویقول فطوبی لک یا حرف الحيّ بما آمنت بنفسي وما خجّلتني بین أهل ملأ الأعلی ووفیت بمیثاقک وأخرجت نفسک عن حجبات الوهم وأقبلت إلی الله ربّک وربّ ما یُری وما لا یُری وربّ البیت المعمور وإنّي رضیت عنک بما وجدت
Shoghi Effendi Translation
Thy Lord, the Most High (the Báb), addresseth thee, from His Realm of glory, these words: Great is the blessedness that awaiteth thee, O Letter of the Living, for thou hast truly believed in Me, hast refused to shame Me before the Concourse on high, hast fulfilled thy pledge, hast cast away the veil of vain imaginings, and hast fixed thy gaze upon the Lord, thy God, the Lord of the unseen and the seen, the Lord of the Frequented Fane. I am well pleased with thee, inasmuch as I have found thy face beaming with light on the Day when faces have been made dismal and turned black.
