“The light of the love of God is brighter than the rays of the sun…”

What follows is a provisional translation (in other words, not official or authorized; see here for more) of a Tablet of ʻAbduʼl-Bahá published in Huva’lláh, vol. 2, p. 41.

He is God

The light of the love of God is brighter than the rays of the sun. Every face illumined with that light shall rouse the jealousy of the sun and the envy of the shining moon.

A typescript of the original Persian text of this Tablet appears below. 

هوالله

نور محبّت الله از پرتو شمس روشن‌تر است. هر رخی که به آن نور روشن، رشک آفتاب است و غِبطۀ مَه تابان.    ع ع
