360 that pure-minded and holy men who live heavenly lives on this earth may, in the light of this sun, crush the head of the serpent that bit Adam and Eve, and may break the poisonous fangs of Satan and deliver the world from his wiles. O ye who dwell in the lands of the East and the West, be of good cheer and do not be cast down, for, the bridegroom has come at last, whose coming had so long been awaited. Be not sad or sorrowful. It is not the time to grieve or to be sorrowful, rather is it the time to rejoice. It is not the time to despair but to be hopeful and aspiring. So deck yourselves with garlands of holiness and adorn yourselves with the ornaments of purity, for your long-felt desires have been fulfilled, and that, for which you had been longing for centuries, has come to pass. The Lord, your God has Himself come to your homes: your Master Himself seeks to be agreeable to you. Let us forget our petty squabbles, and let us all be united at the hands of the blessed Messenger of God, to sing the songs of our Lord’s praise and chant hymns of adoration. Let us lay such a firm hold on His mantle that our Beloved may never again be separated from us. Amen! And our last words are that all praise is due to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds.
