Epilogue
Siyyid Kázim’s passing marked the culmination of his and Shaykh Ahmad’s tireless efforts, which had galvanized a small following across Persia. While their teachings had resonated with thousands of individuals, the majority of these followers were primarily engaged with the ShaykhĂ interpretation of Islamic teachings, rather than actively seeking the Promised One. Indeed, for most, the prospect of undertaking the herculean effort and sacrifices required to embark on the search for the Promised One was daunting and overwhelming.
As to those few valiant souls who took the first step to cross the metaphoric Bridge of Sirát, their journey ahead is a marked by unwavering commitment, courage, and sacrifice. As we will see in the next sections, these special souls, the Letters of the Living, emerge as beacons of light, inspiring countless others to follow in their footsteps. And as to those who follow them, many are ordinary people who will rise to extraordinary levels. Through indomitable resolve and effort, through choosing to tear the veils of ignorance and illusion that ensnare others, these souls will embark on an undreamed-of path to usher in a new age for humanity. Their remarkable journey is a testament to the transformative power of sincere devotion and spiritual striving. These are the souls whose incredible story is told by NabĂl in the Dawn-Breakers. Their story calls on us to follow in their footsteps.
