power of divine guidance.
"Glorified is He to Whom pertaineth the dominion of ..."
He is God, the Supreme Ruler, the Sovereign Truth, He Whose help is
implored by all.
Glorified is He to Whom pertaineth the dominion of the heavens and of the
earth, in Whose hand lieth the kingdom of all created things and unto Whom
shall all return. It is He Who setteth the measure assigned to each and
every thing and revealeth His goodly gifts and blessings in His sacred
Book for the benefit of those who offer gratitude for His Cause.
Say, this earthly life shall come to an end, and everyone shall expire and
return unto my Lord God Who will reward with the choicest gifts the deeds
of those who endure with patience. Verily thy God assigneth the measure of
all created things as He willeth, by virtue of His behest; and those who
conform to the good-pleasure of your Lord, they are indeed among the
blissful.
Thy Lord hath never raised up a prophet in the past who failed to summon
the people to His Lord, and today is truly similar to the times of old,
were ye to ponder over the verses revealed by God.
When God sent forth His Prophet Muhammad, on that day the termination of
the prophetic cycle was foreordained in the knowledge of God. Yea, that
promise hath indeed come true and the decree of God hath been accomplished
as He hath ordained. Assuredly we are today living in the Days of God.
These are the glorious days on the like of which the sun hath never risen
in the past. These are the days which the people in bygone times eagerly
expected. What hath then befallen you that ye are fast asleep? These are
the days wherein God hath caused the Day-Star of Truth to shine
resplendent. What hath then caused you to keep your silence? These are the
appointed days which ye have been yearningly awaiting in the past--the days
of the advent of divine justice. Render ye thanks unto God, O ye concourse
of believers.
Let not the deeds of those who reject the Truth shut you out as by a veil.
Such people have warrant over your bodies only, and God hath not reposed
in them power over your spirits, your souls and your hearts. Fear ye God
that haply it may be well with you. All things have been created for your
sakes, and for the sake of naught else hath your creation been ordained.
Fear ye God and take heed lest forms and apparels debar you from
recognizing Him. Render ye thanksgiving unto God that perchance He may
deal mercifully with you
