Paraclete. This refers to Muḥammad.
Cf. Tablet of 'Abdu'l-Bahá to Charles Mason Remey, S of W, vol. 3, No. 7: "His Holiness the Christ took the Covenant of the 'Paraclete'--which means His Holiness Muḥammad--and
announced the glad-tidings of His appearance." Islámic doctrine is that this is the original of the word translated "Aḥmad" in Qur'án 61:6. Nicholson translates "Aḥmad" laudatissimus. |
