Letters ( revised ) | THE TWENTY-EIGHTH LETTER | 442
(399-446)
Just as it now sends its immaterial produce to the tablets of that field, so with its annual rotation it defines a circle, and through the produce of that existent circle is a source for the formation of the field of the resurrection. The Lesser Hell at the centre of this dominical ship known as the earth will be emptied into the Greater Hell, so too its inhabitants will be emptied into the field of the resurrection.

Secondly: The occurrence of the resurrection, as well as the existence of the field where  it  will  take  place,  have  been  proved  decisively  chiefly  in  the  Tenth  and Twenty-Ninth Words, and in others of the Words.

Thirdly: As for meeting with people, it is proved conclusively in the Sixteenth, Thirty-First,  and  Thirty-Second  Words  that  through  the  mystery  of  luminosity  a person may be present in thousands of places at the same instant, and may meet with millions of people.

Fourthly: It is required by the name of All-Wise that at the Great Gathering and resurrection of the dead, having been stripped of artificial clothes, Almighty God will clothe men in natural garments, just as He now clothes beings with spirits, other than man,  in  natural  garments.  In  this  world,  the  wisdom  in  artificial  clothes  is  not restricted  to protection against  heat and cold, adornment,  and covering the private parts; another important instance of wisdom is their resembling an index or list indicating  man’s  power  of  disposal  over  the  other  species  of  beings,  and  his relationship with them, and commandership over them. He might otherwise have been clothed in cheap and easy natural dress. For if it had not been for this wisdom, man would have draped himself in various rags, becoming the laughing-stock of conscious animals  and  a  buffoon  in  their  eyes;  he  would  have  make  them  laugh.  At  the resurrection  of the dead  this relation will not be present,  nor will the instance  of wisdom, so neither should the list be present.

Fifthly:  When  it comes  to  having  someone  to  show  the  way,  for  those  like yourself who have entered under the light of the Qur’an, it will be the Qur’an. Look at the start of the Suras which begin Alif. Lam. Mim., and Alif. Lam. Ra., and Ha. Mim.: you will see and understand how acceptable an intercessor is the Qur’an, how true a guide, how sacred a light!

Sixthly: As for the garments of the people of Paradise and the people of Hell, the principle in the Twenty-Eighth Word explaining why the houris wear seventy dresses is applicable here too. It is as follows:

A person of Paradise will of course want to benefit continuously  from all the varieties of beings there. The good things of Paradise will vary greatly. He will all the time communicate with all the varieties of its beings. In which case, he will clothe himself and his houris in samples, in small amount, of the good things of Paradise, and they will each become like small Paradises.
