e from error, then here is
the like of it--this Book, which We have, in truth and by the leave of God,
sent down unto Our Servant. If ye fail to believe in Him, then your faith
in Muhammad and His Book which was revealed in the past will indeed be
treated as false in the estimation of God. If ye deny Him, the fact of
your having denied Muhammad and His Book will, in very truth and with
absolute certainty, become evident unto yourselves. _Chapter IV._

"Fear ye God and breathe not a word concerning His ..."

Fear ye God and breathe not a word concerning His Most Great Remembrance
other than what hath been ordained by God, inasmuch as We have established
a separate covenant regarding Him with every Prophet and His followers.
Indeed, We have not sent any Messenger without this binding covenant and
We do not, of a truth, pass judgement upon anything except after the
covenant of Him Who is the Supreme Gate hath been established. Ere long
the veil shall be lifted from your eyes at the appointed time. Ye shall
then behold the sublime Remembrance of God, unclouded and vivid. _Chapter
V._

"Do men imagine that We are far distant from the people ..."

Do men imagine that We are far distant from the people of the world? Nay,
the day We cause them to be assailed by the pangs of death(15) they shall,
upon the plain of Resurrection, behold how the Lord of Mercy and His
Remembrance were near. Thereupon they shall exclaim: 'Would that we had
followed the path of the Bab! Would that we had sought refuge only with
Him, and not with men of perversity and error! For verily the Remembrance
of God appeared before us,(16) behind us, and on all sides, yet we were,
in very truth, shut out as by a veil from Him.' _Chapter VII._

"Do not say, 'How can He speak of God while in truth ..."

Do not say, 'How can He speak of God while in truth His age is no more
than twenty-five?' Give ye ear unto Me. I swear by the Lord of the heavens
and of the earth: I am verily a servant of God. I have been made the
Bearer of irrefutable proofs from the presence of Him Who is the
long-expected Remnant of God. Here is My Book before your eyes, as indeed
inscribed in the presence of God in the Mother Book. God hath indeed made
Me blessed, wheresoever I may be, and hath enjoined upon Me to observe
prayer and fortitude so long as I shall live on earth amongst you.
_Chapter IX._

"Glorified is He besides Whom there is none other God.
