Part 7 (2/2)
Ere long We shall prolong the days of such as have rejected the Truth by reason of that which their hands have wrought,(54) and verily G.o.d will not deal unjustly with anyone, even to the extent of a speck on a date-stone.
_Chapter Lx.x.xVII._
”O ye peoples of the earth! By the righteousness of G.o.d, ...”
O ye peoples of the earth! By the righteousness of G.o.d, the True One, the testimony shown forth by His Remembrance is like unto a sun which the hand of the merciful Lord hath raised high in the midmost heart of the heaven, wherefrom it s.h.i.+neth in the plenitude of its meridian splendour...
With each and every Prophet Whom We have sent down in the past, We have established a separate Covenant concerning the Remembrance of G.o.d and His Day. Manifest, in the realm of glory and through the power of truth, are the Remembrance of G.o.d and His Day before the eyes of the angels that circle His mercy-seat. _Chapter XCI._
”O Hour of the Dawn! Ere the resplendent glory of the ...”
O Hour of the Dawn! Ere the resplendent glory of the divine Luminary sheddeth its radiance from the Dayspring of this Gate, call thou to mind that the appointed Day of G.o.d will indeed be at hand in less than the twinkling of an eye. Thus hath the decree of G.o.d been issued in the Mother Book. _Chapter XCIV._
”O Concourse of the faithful! Verily the object of each ...”
O Concourse of the faithful! Verily the object of each and every sign revealed by G.o.d in the Scriptures or in the world at large or in the hearts of men is but to make them fully realize that this Remembrance is indeed the True One from G.o.d. Verily G.o.d is cognizant of all things through the power of eternal Truth...
O ye that circle the throne of glory! Hearken unto My Call which is raised from the midst of the Burning Bush, 'Verily I am G.o.d and there is none other G.o.d but Me. Hence wors.h.i.+p Me, and for the sake of Him Who is the Most Great Remembrance, offer ye prayers, purged from the insinuations of the people, for verily your Lord, the One true G.o.d, is none other than the Sovereign Truth. Indeed such as invoke others besides Him are deservedly numbered among the inmates of the fire, while He Who is the Remembrance of G.o.d verily abideth, firm and undeviating, on the Path of Truth amidst the Burning Bush.'...
O peoples of the earth! Inflict not upon the Most Great Remembrance what the Umayyads cruelly inflicted upon ?usayn in the Holy Land. By the righteousness of G.o.d, the True One, He is indeed the Eternal Truth, and unto Him G.o.d, verily, is a witness. _Chapter XVII._
”G.o.d had, in truth, proposed Our Mission unto the ...”
G.o.d 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 G.o.d, undertook to bear it. Hence G.o.d, the All-Encompa.s.sing, 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 ent.i.tled 'the Unknown'...(55)
Erelong We will, in very truth, torment such as waged war against ?usayn [Imam ?usayn], in the Land of the Euphrates, with the most afflictive torment, and the most dire and exemplary punishment....
G.o.d knoweth well the heart of ?usayn, the heat of His burning thirst and His long-suffering for the sake of G.o.d, the Incomparable, the Ancient of Days; and unto Him G.o.d is verily a witness. _Chapter XII._
