of your Prophet's
House, and rejoice and make merry while seated on your seats of honour! Ye
utter your imprecations against them who were before you, and who have
perpetrated what ye have perpetrated, and remain yourselves all the time
unaware of your enormities!

90 Be fair in your judgement. Did they whom ye curse, upon whom ye invoke
evil, act differently from yourselves? Have they not slain the descendant
of their Prophet(100) as ye have slain the descendant of your own? Is not
your conduct similar to their conduct? Wherefore, then, claim ye to be
different from them, O ye sowers of dissension amongst men?

91 And when ye took away His life, one of His followers arose to avenge
His death. He was unknown of men, and the design he had conceived was
unnoticed by anyone. Eventually he committed what had been preordained. It
behoveth you, therefore, to attach blame to no one except to yourselves,
for the things ye have committed, if ye but judge fairly. Who is there on
the whole earth who hath done what ye have done? None, by Him Who is the
Lord of all worlds!

92 All the rulers and kings of the earth honour and revere the descendants
of their Prophets and holy men, could ye but perceive it. Ye, on the other
hand, are responsible for such acts as no man hath, at any time,
performed. Your misdeeds have caused every understanding heart to be
consumed with grief. And yet, ye have remained sunk in your heedlessness,
and failed to realize the wickedness of your actions.

93 Ye have persisted in your waywardness until ye rose up against Us,
though We had committed nothing to justify your enmity. Fear ye not God
Who hath created you, and fashioned you, and caused you to attain your
strength, and joined you with them that have resigned themselves to
Him?(101) How long will ye persist in your waywardness? How long will ye
refuse to reflect? How long ere ye shake off your slumber and are roused
from your heedlessness? How long will ye remain unaware of the truth?

94 Ponder in thine heart. Did ye, notwithstanding your behaviour and the
things your hands have wrought, succeed in quenching the fire of God or in
putting out the light of His Revelation--a light that hath enveloped with
its brightness them that are immersed in the billowing oceans of
immortality, and hath attracted the souls of such as truly believe in and
uphold His unity? Know ye not that the Hand of God is over your hands,
that His Decree transcendeth all your
