behind thee, and turn towards thy Lord, through Whom the whole earth hath
been illumined... Dwellest thou in palaces whilst He Who is the King of
Revelation liveth in the most desolate of abodes? Leave them unto such as

who, in My Name, have secluded themselves in their churches, and who, when
the appointed time was fulfilled, and We unveiled Our beauty, knew Us not,
though they call upon Me at eventide and at dawn....

in the form of the human temple in this day. Blessed be the Lord Who is
the Father! He, verily, is come unto the nations in His most great
