Commemorating the Martyrdom of the Bab and Gratitude List
Kamál (Perfection), 16 Raḥmat (Mercy) 175 B.E. - Monday, July 9, 2018
Martyrdom of the Báb

         O Thou Remnant of God! I have sacrificed myself wholly for Thee; I have accepted curses for Thy sake, and have yearned for naught but martyrdom in the path of Thy love. Sufficient witness unto me is God, the Exalted, the Protector, the Ancient of Days.
         O Qurratu’l-‘Ayn! The words Thou hast uttered in this momentous Call have grieved me bitterly. However, the irrevocable decision resteth with none but God and the decree proceedeth from none save Him alone. By my life, Thou art the Well-Beloved in the sight of God and His creation. Verily, there is no power except in God, and sufficient witness unto me is your Lord, Who is, in very truth, the Omnipotent Avenger.
The Bab1

Today I commemorate
the Martyrdom of The Bab,
