BB00443: Kitab al-Vahid 18 (Letter to the eighteenth Temple)

This is what We have sent down to the eighteenth Temple. Bear thou witness that He is the Mighty, the All-Possessing.

He is

In the Name of God, the Eternal, the Everlasting

This is an epistle from the letter Tha’ to the eighteenth Temple. Bear thou witness that there is none other God but He, the King, the Holy. He it is Who hath sent forth among the non-Arabs a Light that may fill the pillars of all things. Verily, there is none other God but I, all shall know Me. And verily, I am God, there is none other God but I, from before before at the apex of before, and from after after at the apex of after. And verily ʿAli before the fourth letter is the Manifestation of My Self, and verily the Eight Letters before Ten are letters representing all My Cause, who shall be brought forth by My command. I am, verily, God, there is none other God but I, and all else is My creation.

Say: O My creation, fear ye Me! By My truth and My majesty, I created you not because of any need—will ye not understand? And naught shall enrich you save the day of meeting Me, and this indeed is the meeting with the Manifestation of My Self, yet few among you perceive and comprehend this. Say: I am, verily, God, there is none other God but I, and all seek after Me. There is naught but glorifieth My praise, yet at the time of the appearance of the Manifestation of My Self they remain veiled from Me. Say: Be not veiled by anything, then abide ye in Me. I am, verily, your Lord from before and from after, and I am God, the Mighty, the Beloved.

And in this are signs from My presence unto the Letter Tha, the Eternal, the Everlasting, that all may testify that he is My servant upon whom I have shed the light of My Self—I am God, the Protector, the Self-Subsisting. And I have cast into his heart clear signs that I am God, the King, the All-Powerful. And verily, I am God, there is none other God but I. I have created all things by My command, and I am the Holy, the Pure. Say: Nothing in the dominion of the heaven and earth of all things can frustrate Me, and I am the All-Choosing, the Most Great.

Yea, Thou art God, there is none other God but Thee, and Thou art the Powerful, the Praised. Thou hast created what Thou hast willed and shall create what Thou desirest. There is none other God but Thee, all inhabit Thy realm. There is naught but glorifieth Thy praise, and all remember Thee. Thou art God, there is none other God but Thee, we all are assured of Thee.
