Among the Hands of the Cause of God who have departed this
life and ascended to the Supreme Horizon was Jináb-i-Ismu’lláhu’l-Asdaq… truly
a servant of the Lord from the beginning of life till his last breath… He was
like a surging sea, a falcon that soared high. His visage shone, his tongue was
eloquent, his strength and steadfastness astounding. When he opened his lips to
teach, the proofs would stream out; when he chanted or prayed, his eyes shed
tears like a spring cloud. His face was luminous, his life spiritual, his
knowledge both acquired and innate; and celestial was his ardor, his detachment
from the world, his righteousness, his piety and fear of God.
(‘Abdu’l-Baha, ‘Memorials
of the Faithful’)
