(Words of Paradise). A Tablet revealed by Bahá'u'lláh in honour of Hají MIrzá Haydar-'Alí. It contains eleven passages called ‘Leaves of the Most Exalted Paradise' which include exhortations to the rulers, the peoples of the world and the believers to show justice, wisdom, unity and moderation, and to abandon ascetic practices. In it Bahá'u'lláh instructs the House of Justice to ‘take counsel together regarding those things which have not outwardly been revealed in the Book, and to enforce that which is agreeable to them', assuring that ‘God will verily inspire them with whatsoever He willeth'.1
In this Tablet, Bahá'u'lláh warns against weapons of destruction, adding: ‘Strange and astonishing things exist in the earth but they are hidden from the minds and the understanding of men. These things are capable of changing the whole atmosphere of the earth and their contamination would prove lethal.'2
[BD 126]
