O ye my two beloved children! The news of your union, as soon as it
reached me, imparted infinite joy and gratitude. Praise be to God, those
two faithful birds have sought shelter in one nest. I beseech God that He
may enable them to raise an honoured family, for the importance of
marriage lieth in the bringing up of a richly blessed family, so that with
entire gladness they may, even as candles, illuminate the world. For the
enlightenment of the world dependeth upon the existence of man. If man did
not exist in this world, it would have been like a tree without fruit. My
hope is that you both may become even as one tree, and may, through the
outpourings of the cloud of loving-kindness, acquire freshness and charm,
and may blossom and yield fruit, so that your line may eternally endure.
Upon ye be the Glory of the Most Glorious.
