Undoubtedly the friends are illumined with the light of the
fear of God and are fully conscious of the need to purify and protect their
possessions in accordance with the decisive Words revealed by our Lord, the
Most High.
In these turbulent days, we that yearn for Him, fervently
turn in prayer to the court of the Lord of mankind that He may graciously
enable that august Assembly to repeatedly remind the lovers of the Beauty of
the All-Merciful of the vital importance and the binding character of this sacred
and heavenly injunction. Through issuing announcements, distributing leaflets
and in gatherings, schools and conferences held by the followers of our Zealous
Lord, they should be guided and encouraged to observe strictly and
conscientiously that which His divine commandment has enjoined upon them, so
that those believers who are adorned with the fear of God may be shielded from
the dire consequences foreshadowed in His ominous warnings, may become the
recipients of His assured blessings and be enabled to partake of the
outpourings of His infallible spiritual grace.
