Extract from a Tablet to his honor
Ebn Abhar. [A venerable teachers of the East]
Explain to the people the details of the
Mashriqu’l-Adhkar in Chicago and tell them how contributions are received from
the East and the West. For example, at this moment four contributions were
received in one day from Rangoon, Bombay (India), Jahram of Shiraz and
Kheirol-Gora of Khorassan for the Mashriqu’l-Adhkar of America and were
forwarded to their destination.
Truly, I say, the friends of God
displayed wonderful generosity in regard to the contributions for the
Mashriqu’l-Adhkar. They displayed magnanimity at any cost to such an extent
that some of them sold portions of their clothing on the streets. This is
through the Power of the Covenant of God, for until this day an event of this
character has never transpired that from the East and Asia contributions were
forwarded to the West for the building of a Temple. Verily this is a cause of
astonishment for the people of perception.
