most learned of men are powerless to fathom, and hath created therein
temples inscrutable to all save His own Self, could ye but apprehend this
truth. Blessed be the one who readeth it, who pondereth its contents, and

God is there save Me, the Help in Peril, the Self-Subsisting; and unto the
end that hath no end I shall proclaim, amidst the kingdom of names, that I
am God, none other God is there beside Me, the All-Glorious, the
Best-Beloved. Say: Lordship is My Name, whereof I have created
manifestations in the world of being, while We Ourself remain sanctified

whereof We have created exponents whose power shall encompass the people
of the earth and make them true worshippers of God, could ye but recognize
it. Thus should ye regard all Our Names, if ye be endued with insight.

shall We cause it to return. And from thee shall We manifest it again,
