oneness and unite the congregations and gather together
the dispersed multitude. verily, He is powerful in all things!

But for thee, leave such matters and disturbances and withdraw from those
districts and places and turn thy face sincerely to God; take His
instructions and be expanded through the breaths of god. The Spirit of God
shall assist thee and His angels will confirm thee; the life of holiness
