Adorn (izayyinu) yourselves with the beautiful garments of (good) works. Whoever attains unto a good work in pleasing Him is of the people of al-Baha (Splendour). He has been remembered before the Throne.

Assist the Possessor of Mankind by good works, then by Wisdom and Explanation. Thus have you been commanded in most of the Tablets by the Merciful One. He has knowledge of what I say.

Let no one oppose another; nor one person kill another. This is what you were forbidden in a Book which was veiled in the tent of Might.[note 1]

Do you kill him whom God brought to life through a Spirit from Him? This is an error, which was great before the Throne.

Fear God, and do not raze by hands of oppression and tyranny what God has built. Then take a way to Truth.

When the hosts of spiritual knowledge (al'irfan) appeared with the standards of al-Bayan (the Explanation), the hordes of religions retreated, with the exception of the one who desired to drink the river of Life (kawthar al-hayawan) [note 2] in Paradise, which came into being from the breath of the Praised One.
