O ye friends of Abdu’l-Baha! In these days, through the
happy circumstances and the confirmation of the Lord of the Supreme Heavens and
the assistance of the Unseen Kingdom, the holy remains of His highness the
Supreme (Báb) were transferred to the Mount of Carmel in Haifa in the present
Tomb. Therefore, it is necessary for the believers to celebrate the occasion
with joy and happiness. The believers in Tabriz became exhilarated with this
cup and with the polo of magnanimity carried away the ball of service from the
arena of the Cause. Perhaps later on the people of hatred and enmity, may
calumniate and misrepresent the facts, stating that the blessed remains of the
Bab are in some other place, or that a part of it is elsewhere. The friends of
God must know that this is a pure falsehood, calumny and malicious slander.
That blessed, crucified body is interred in its entirety on Mount Carmel, but
the enemies will not rest quiet. It is certain that they will raise a clamor
and claim that we stole that blessed body, or fraudulently transferred it or
got hold of a part of it, or that the genii took it away from the firm ones.
All these statements are fabrications and slanders. The whole truth is
explained here.
