What follows is my provisional translation (in other words, not official or authorized; see here for more) of a Tablet of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, the original text of which has been published in Áhang-i-Badí‘, year 133 BE, nos. 3–4, p. 69. This Tablet makes reference to a photograph of Ibn-i-Abhar, one of the Apostles of Bahá’u’lláh, which appears below. The original text of this Tablet corresponds to the text inscribed in the upper-left corner of the image. The Tablet corresponding to the text in the upper-right hand corner can be found here, while the Tablet corresponding to the text in the upper-center can be found in the original Persian here and in authorized translation here.
He is God!
This is a photograph depicting unto thee the condition of one who hath been imprisoned in the path of God, bound with chains and fetters, yet immersed in the ocean of contentment; resigning all his affairs unto God in every circumstance; and seeking the good-pleasure of his Lord, the Most Exalted, amidst the most grievous afflictions.
A typescript of the original Arabic text of this Tablet appears below (all punctuation and short vowel marks mine).
