ert thou to realize what thou hast done, thou wouldst surely weep
sore over thyself, and wouldst flee for refuge to God, and wouldst pine
away and mourn all the days of thy life, till God will have forgiven thee,
for He, verily, is the Most Generous, the All-Bountiful. Thou wilt,
however, persist, till the hour of thy death, in thy heedlessness,
inasmuch as thou hast, with all thine heart, thy soul and inmost being,
busied thyself with the vanities of the world. Thou shalt, after thy
departure, discover what We have revealed unto thee, and shalt find all
thy doings recorded in the Book wherein the works of all them that dwell
on earth, be they greater or less than the weight of an atom, are noted
down. Heed, therefore, My counsel, and hearken thou, with the hearing of
thine heart, unto My speech, and be not careless of My words, nor be of
them that reject My truth. Glory not in the things that have been given
thee. Set before thine eyes what hath been revealed in the Book of God,
the Help in Peril, the All-Glorious: "And when they had forgotten their
warnings, We set open to them the gates of all things," even as We did set
open to thee and to thy like the gates of this earth and the ornaments
thereof. Wait thou, therefore, for what hath been promised in the latter
part of this holy verse, for this is a promise from Him Who is the
Almighty, the All-Wise--a promise that will not prove untrue.

I know not the path ye have chosen and which ye tread, O congregation of
My ill-wishers! We summon you to God, We remind you of His Day, We
announce unto you tidings of your reunion with Him, We draw you nigh unto
His court, and send down upon you tokens of His wondrous wisdom, and yet
lo, behold how ye reject Us, how ye condemn Us, through the things which
your lying mouths have uttered, as an infidel, how ye devise your devices
against Us! And when We manifest unto you what God hath, through His
bountiful favor, bestowed upon Us, ye say, "It is but plain magic." The
same words were spoken by the generations that were before you and were
what you are, did ye but perceive it. Ye have thereby deprived yourselves
of the bounty of God and of His grace, and shall never obtain them till
the day when God will have judged between Us and you, and He, verily, is
the best of Judges.

Certain ones among you have said: "He it is Who hath laid claim to be
God." By God! This is a gross calumny. I am but a servant of God Who hath
believed in Him
