O Land of Radiance: through thee the banner of “There is no God but He” was raised, and within thee the standard of “Verily, I am the Truth, the Knower of the unseen” was planted. It behoveth every one who turneth toward thee to glory in thee and in what is within thee of My branches and leaves and traces, and My saints and My beloved ones who came with the greatest steadfastness to My praised station...
