17 Specimen of Writing Ever since the appearance in the world of the sun of righteousness in the blessed person of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of All a h be on him) up to this day, thousands of persons who possessed the capacity and the ability, by following the Divine word and obeying the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of All a h be on him), have arrived at the high ranks that we have mentioned and continue to do so. God Almighty continuously bestowed upon them such favours, bounties, support and help that it is proved to those possessing clear sight that such people are Divine favourites, who are under the grand shadow of Divine bounty and are recipients of great grace. Observers can see clearly that these people are honoured with extraordinary favours and are distinguished by wonderful signs and perfumed with the fragrance of love and enjoy the pride of being accepted of God. The light of the All-Powerful so fills their companionship, their attention, their resolve, their moral qualities, their way of living, their joy, their anger, their desire, their dislike, their movement and their rest, their speech and their silence, and their outer and inner selves, as a clear and transparent glass receptacle is filled with excellent perfume.
