O thou who art steadfast in the Covenant! Thou hast exerted
strenuous efforts for the education of children and I have been, and am, infinitely
pleased with thee. Praise God, thou hast been enabled to serve in this field,
and it is certain that the confirmations of the Abha Kingdom will encompass
thee, and thou shalt achieve prosperity and success.
Today the training and education of the believers' children
is the pre-eminent goal of the chosen. It is the same as servitude to the
Sacred Threshold and waiting upon the Blessed Beauty. Joyously, therefore,
canst thou pride thyself on this.
