O peoples of the earth! Inflict not upon the Most Great Remembrance what
the Umayyads cruelly inflicted upon Husayn in the Holy Land. By the
righteousness of God, the True One, He is indeed the Eternal Truth, and
unto Him God, verily, is a witness. _Chapter XVII._
"God had, in truth, proposed Our Mission unto the ..."
God had, in truth, proposed Our Mission unto the heavens and the earth and
the mountains, but they refused to bear it and were afraid thereof.
However, Man, this 'Ali, Who is none other but the Great Remembrance of
God, undertook to bear it. Hence God, the All-Encompassing, hath referred
to Him in His Preserved Book as the 'Wronged One', and by reason of His
being undistinguished before the eyes of men, He hath, according to the
judgement of the Book, been entitled 'the Unknown'...(55)
Erelong We will, in very truth, torment such as waged war against Husayn
[Imam Husayn], in the Land of the Euphrates, with the most afflictive
torment, and the most dire and exemplary punishment....
God knoweth well the heart of Husayn, the heat of His burning thirst and
His long-suffering for the sake of God, the Incomparable, the Ancient of
Days; and unto Him God is verily a witness. _Chapter XII._

Hearken unto the Voice of Thy Lord calling from Mount Sinai, 'Verily there
is no God but Him, and I am the Most Exalted One Who hath been veiled in
the Mother Book according to the dispensations of Providence.' _Chapter
XIX._
"This Book which We have sent down is indeed abounding ..."
This Book which We have sent down is indeed abounding in blessings(56) and
beareth witness to the Truth, so that the people may realize that the
conclusive Proof of God in favour of His Remembrance is similar to the one
wherewith Muhammad, the Seal of the Prophets, was invested, and verily
great is the Cause as ordained in the Mother Book. _Chapter LXVI._
"This Remembrance is indeed the glorious Remnant of ..."
This Remembrance is indeed the glorious Remnant of the Light of God, and
He will be best for you,(57) if ye in very truth remain faithful to God,
the Most Exalted...
We have in truth sent Thee forth unto all men, by the leave of God,
invested with Our signs and reinforced by Our unsurpassed sovereignty. He
is indeed the appointed Bearer of the Trust of God...
