before God, the Lord of the
Worlds. For to bow down in adoration at the threshold of His door is
indeed better for you than the worship of both worlds, and to submit to
His Revelation is more profitable unto you than whatsoever hath been
created in the heavens and on the earth.

98 Say: O people! I admonish you wholly for the sake of God, and seek no
reward from you. For My recompense shall be with God, He Who hath brought
Me into being, raised Me up by the power of truth, and made Me the Source
of His remembrance amidst His creatures. Hasten to behold this divine and
glorious Vision, the Spot wherein God hath established His Seat. Follow

of Divine mysteries! Raise the clarion call of Thy Lord, the
Unconditioned, the Unconstrained! O Maid of Heaven! Step forth from the
chambers of paradise and announce unto the people of the world: By the
righteousness of God! He Who is the Best-Beloved of the worlds--He Who hath
ever been the Desire of every perceiving heart, the Object of the
adoration of all that are in heaven and on earth, and the Cynosure of the
