Meaning of the word "patron"
(Note: The following reference to p. 50 is on p. 53 in our online copy; for reference to Sale's translation and notes, see this online copy)
"Regarding your question about the meaning of the words on page 50 of the Seven and Four Valleys: This is a verse of the Qur'an which Bahá'u'lláh quotes; the word patron here means helper--in other words when God misleads a soul, he shall find no other helper. You would find Sale's translation and comments on the Qur'an helpful in getting at the story back of such verses as this one."
- (From a letter written on behalf of the Guardian to an individual believer, March 18, 1946, in Lights of Guidance, no. 1613)
