100. QUESTION: Concerning inheritance.

ANSWER: Regarding inheritance, that which the Primal Point hath

ordained--may the souls of all else but Him be offered up for His sake--is

well pleasing. The existing heirs should receive their allotted shares of

the inheritance, while a statement of the remainder must be submitted to

the Court of the Most High. In His hand is the source of authority; He

ordaineth as He pleaseth. In this regard, a law was revealed in the Land

of Mystery,(21) temporarily awarding the missing heirs' inheritance to the

existing heirs until such time as the House of Justice shall be

established, when the decree concerning this will be promulgated. The

inheritance, however, of those who emigrated in the same year as the

Ancient Beauty, hath been awarded to their heirs, and this is a bounty of

God bestowed upon them.
