e King of Festivals. Call
ye to mind, O people, the bounty which God hath conferred upon you. Ye
were sunk in slumber, and lo! He aroused you by the reviving breezes of
His Revelation, and made known unto you His manifest and undeviating Path.

113 Resort ye, in times of sickness, to competent physicians; We have not
set aside the use of material means, rather have We confirmed it through
this Pen, which God hath made to be the Dawning-place of His shining and
glorious Cause.

114 God had formerly laid upon each one of the believers the duty of
offering before Our throne priceless gifts from among his possessions.
Now, in token of Our gracious favour, We have absolved them of this
obligation. He, of a truth, is the Most Generous, the All-Bountiful.

115 Blessed is he who, at the hour of dawn, centring his thoughts on God,
occupied with His remembrance, and supplicating His forgiveness, directeth
his steps to the Mas{~COMBINING MACRON BELOW~}h{~COMBINING MACRON BELOW~}riqu'l-Ad{~COMBINING MACRON BELOW~}h{~COMBINING MACRON BELOW~}kar and, entering therein, seateth
himself in silence to listen to the verses of God, the Sovereign, the
Mighty, the All-Praised. Say: The Mas{~COMBINING MACRON BELOW~}h{~COMBINING MACRON BELOW~}riqu'l-Ad{~COMBINING MACRON BELOW~}h{~COMBINING MACRON BELOW~}kar is each and every
building which hath been erected in cities and villages for the
celebration of My praise. Such is the name by which it hath been
designated before the throne of glory, were ye of those who understand.

116 They who recite the verses of the All-Merciful in the most melodious
of tones will perceive in them that with which the sovereignty of earth
and heaven can never be compared. From them they will inhale the divine
fragrance of My worlds--worlds which today none can discern save those who
have been endowed with vision through this sublime, this beauteous
Revelation. Say: These verses draw hearts that are pure unto those
spiritual worlds that can neither be expressed in words nor intimated by
allusion. Blessed be those who hearken.

117 Assist ye, O My people, My chosen servants who have arisen to make
mention of Me among My creatures and to exalt My Word throughout My realm.
These, truly, are the stars of the heaven of My loving providence and the
lamps of My guidance unto all mankind. But he whose words conflict with
that which hath been sent down in My Holy Tablets is not of Me. Beware
lest ye follow any impious pretend
