Verily there is no God but Him, the sovereign Ruler, the Almighty, the
Great.
He is the One Who on the Day of Severing shall pass judgement through the
power of Truth; indeed no God is there besides Him, the Peerless, the
All-Compelling, the Exalted. He is the One Who holdeth within His grasp
the kingdom of all created things; there is none other God but Him, the
Single, the Incomparable, the Ever-Abiding, the Inaccessible, the Most
Great.
At this moment I testify unto God, even as He testified unto Himself
before the creation of all things: Verily there is no God save Him, the
All-Glorious, the All-Wise. And I bear witness unto whatsoever He hath
fashioned or will fashion, even as He Himself, in the majesty of His
glory, hath borne witness: No God is there but Him, the Peerless, the
Self-Subsisting, the Most Wondrous.
In God, Who is the Lord of all created things, have I placed My whole
trust. There is no God but Him, the Peerless, the Most Exalted. Unto Him
have I resigned Myself and into His hands have I committed all My affairs.
No God is there besides Him, the supreme Ruler, the resplendent Truth.
Indeed all-sufficient is He for Me; independently of all things doth He
suffice, while nothing in the heavens or in the earth but Him sufficeth.
He, in very truth, is the Self-Subsisting, the Most Severe.
Praise be unto Him Who at this very moment perceiveth in this remote
prison the goal of My desire. He is the One Who beareth witness unto Me at
all times and beholdeth Me ere the inception of 'after Hin'.(5)
Why didst thou pronounce judgement without remembering God, the All-Wise?
How canst thou endure in the fire? Indeed, mighty and most severe is thy
God.
Thou pridest thyself in the things thou dost possess, yet no believer in
God and in His signs, nor any righteous man would ever deign to regard
them. This mortal life is like unto the carcass of a dog, around which
none would gather, nor would any partake thereof, except those who gainsay
the life hereafter. Verily it is incumbent upon thee to become a true
believer in God, the All-Possessing, the Almighty, and to turn away from
the one who guideth thee into the torment of hell-fire.
I have been waiting a while that perchance thou wouldst take heed and be
rightly guided. How canst thou answer God on the day which is near at
hand--the day whereon witnesses will stand forth to testify in the presence
of thy Lord, the Lord of all the worlds?
