|
Emphasis on deeds, not words |
The essence of faith is fewness of words and abundance of deeds; he whose words exceed his deeds, know, verily, his death is better than his life. | |||
|
Exercise patience |
Be patient under all conditions, and place your whole trust and confidence in God. | |||
|
Immortality crowns |
… the life of the flesh is common to both men and animals, whereas the life of the spirit is possessed only by the pure in heart who have quaffed from the ocean of faith and partaken of the fruit of certitude. This life knoweth no death, and this existence is crowned by immortality. | |||
|
Reliance on God |
Rely upon God, thy God and the Lord of thy fathers. For the people are wandering in the paths of delusions, bereft of discernment to see God with their own eyes, or hear His melodies with their own ears. | |||
|
Submission |
The source of all good is trust in God, submission unto His command, and contentment with His holy will and pleasure. | |||
|
Fearing none |
Be not afraid of anyone, place thy whole trust in God, the Almighty, the All-Knowing. | |||
|
Steadfastness |
When the victory arriveth, every man shall profess himself as believer and shall hasten to the shelter of God’s Faith. Happy are they who in the days of world-encompassing trials have stood fast in the Cause and refused to swerve from its truth. | |||
