Mighty, the Great. Consider and call to mind how when Muḥammad, the
Apostle of God, appeared, the people denied Him. They ascribed unto Him
what caused the Spirit (Jesus) to lament in His Most Sublime Station, and
the Faithful Spirit to cry out. Consider, moreover, the things which
befell the Apostles and Messengers of God before Him, by reason of what
the hands of the unjust have wrought. We make mention of you for the sake
of God, and remind you of His signs, and announce unto you the things
ordained for such as are nigh unto Him in the most sublime Paradise and
the all-highest Heaven, and I, verily, am the Announcer, the Omniscient.
He hath come for your salvation, and hath borne tribulations that ye may
ascend, by the ladder of utterance, unto the summit of understanding....
Peruse, with fairness and justice, that which hath been sent down. It
will, verily, exalt you through the truth, and will cause you to behold
the things from which ye have been withheld, and will enable you to quaff
His sparkling Wine.




“THOSE divines ... who are truly adorned with the ornament...”


THOSE divines ... who are truly adorned with the ornament of knowledge and
of a goodly character are, verily, as a head to the body of the world, and
as eyes to the nations. The guidance of men hath, at all times, been and
is dependent upon these blessed souls.
