O maid-servant of God! Verily, the Lord of Hosts calleth thee from the absence of existence (or non-existence) and sayeth:
“Come, O My maid-servant, to My Kingdom!
Come, O My attracted one, unto My Great Paradise!
Come, O My maid-servant, unto My Sublime Heaven!
Come, O My attracted one, unto the place of My Glorious
Throne.”
Therefore turn, with a heart throbbing and tears flowing, unto the Beauty of Abha, so that thou obtaineth the great favor and drinketh from that wine, and tasteth the fruits of the Paradise of Abha.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (‘Tablets of ‘Abdu’l-Baha, vol. 2)
