70.
Hence, God called Noah from behind the veils, assuring Him:
71.
None of Thy people will ever believe except those who previously believed, so be not grieved with what they have done.
72.
When Noah heard the Call of God, His inner being trembled with exceeding longing;
He lifted His Hands He then, said:
73.
O Lord!
Leave none of those people upon the earth!
74.
We have heard His Cry and have commanded Him to build the Ark.
75.
And when the Ark of the Spirit was completed through the Most Great Word, We said:
76.
O Noah!
Enter therein those of Thy people who were predestined to believe in the religion of God.
77.
Therefore, We poured down out of the clouds of God’s wrath the rain of confusion causing all the people of the world to be drowned therein, except those who sailed upon the Ark of the Spirit! [4]
78.
We then sent Hŭd and made Him a Prophet upon the East and the West and aided Him with Our Cause and guided Him to enter with those who entered in the Egypt of the Spirit.
79.
And He said:
O People!
Fear God!
And do not commit what those previously have committed.
80.
Verily, I fear that the Day of Sure Retribution shall come upon you!
81.
Verily, they rejected Him and turned away from what He hath given them from God,
the Help in Peril, the Self-Subsistent.
82.
Then We charged them for their sin and made them a sign for those who truly want to be admonished.
83.
Thereafter, We sent Sal’ih, and We have resolved His affairs
by requesting Him to command all people to deal with one another with absolute justice,
reminding them of the Day of God,
the Mighty, the Most Beloved.
84.
Say!
O People!
Believe in the One Who hath created you, and sustained you,
and caused you to die and brought you back to life, if ye but know.
85.
Do not busy thyself with this world and its adornments,
but fear God and never vacillate from His injunctions.
86.
Have mercy on yourselves, and do not transgress against the Cause of God,
the Help in Peril, the Self-Subsistent.
87.
They said:
O Sal’ih!
We do not worship your God, and we do not follow what you ask us to follow, so be silent.
88.
If not, we shall stone you and kill you.
89.
Thus they were among those who transgressed against the religion of God.
90.
Sali’h said:
O People!
This is the She Camel of God in the Holy Pasture of the Spirit.
91.
You see her quenching your thirst from the milk of wisdom and it does not harm you in any way, so fear God and do not touch her.
|
|
|
92.
Neither inflict upon her any harm of your own malicious selves
and do not follow your passions if ye be of those who understand.
93.
Alas, Satan whispered in their hearts and again they transgressed against God,
the Mighty, the Self-Subsistent.
94.
Verily, they increased their haughtiness until they buckled the She Camel, without any sin or crime.
95.
Hence, We punished them due to their rebellion and destroyed them for what they had wrought.[5]

After a while We sent unto them Abraham in Truth
and chose Him from among the people
and made Him a Sign for those who walk in the Path of Might.
97.
He said:
O People!
Fear God and believe in Him
and do not take partners unto Him in this world,
and be not of those who turned away from His clear evidences,
and be not negligent, but turn to the Courts of the Spirit, if ye but heed.
98.
Perchance, the Divine Breezes may waft over you and draw you unto the Shores of Oneness,
and teach you from the wisdom of God,
the Powerful, the Mighty, the Most Beloved.
99.
They said:
We shall never follow Thee, O Abraham, in Thy Cause.
100.
Neither shall we abandon our gods.
101.
Ask your God to send us what you promised us.
102.
Thus they ridiculed Him every day, and determined to kill Him, taking the evidences of God as objects for their mockery.
103.
Rejecting God’s signs and evidences, they turned away from the Ocean of His bounties until one of their leaders in whose heart the fire of opposition and malice burned, and who was among those who were wrapped in their own veils, utterly dead, gathered the people, informing them of his plot to kill Abraham and burn Him with fire.
104.
Thus they conspired with him, ignited the fire of opposition and malice, and taking Abraham, threw Him into that fire and continued to prostrate themselves before their own vain imaginings.
|
|
|
105.
We, verily, hath turned that fire into peace and comfort unto Him, and made it a fire of spirit and mercy.
106.
Thus, We protected Him as We protect those who patiently endure during calamities and affliction![6]
107.
Thereafter, We sent Moses with mighty proofs of the preordained Divine Cause, and brought Him to the Shores of Holiness in the Sacred Spot of Paradise.
108.
We made Him dwell in the Sinai of the Cause of God and the Divine Chambers of the Spirit.
109.
Then We called Him behind seventy thousand veils beyond the Tree of Eternity, near the Ocean of Grandeur:
110.
O Moses!
I am God, Thy Lord and the Lord of Thy forefathers: Ishmael, Isaac and Jacob.
111.
This is My Beauty which We have disclosed unto Thee.
Behold! What do you see?
112.
Thus have We showered Our bestowals upon Thee as a favor out of Our loving kindness.
113.
Therefore, get your enlightenment from this Sacred Fire.
114.
Perchance in the Days of God, people will be illumined by the fire of this Divine Love.
115.
Thus, We have strengthened Him with the Rod of the Cause and made His Hand as My Hand and made Him shine in Truth like unto a Radiant Jewel for those who see with the sight of God.
116.
Then We have commanded Him to remind them of Our Days to come, when all veils will be burned away by Our Might; when there shall come unto them the Countenance of Spirit in the shadows of the splendors in the Name of Ali, if ye but know it!
117.
"Go unto Pharaoh and his people and guide them by the Holy Lights and give them the Glad-Tidings of the Days whereby all shall be gathered in the Holy Court.
118.
Perchance they will follow the Cause of their Lord and be guided by the Fire of God, and turn to the Shore of Grace in the Presence of God, the Help in Peril, the Best Beloved."
119.
Thus, Moses entered unto Pharaoh and said:
"Fear God, O Pharaoh!
And follow not thy vain imaginings and be not of those who refuse to be enlightened by the Lights of God!
120.
Verily, I have come to Thee from the Dawning Place of the Spirit with the Sinai of the Cause.
|
|
|
121.
Do follow the Cause of thy Lord and be not of those who are not touched by the fire of their Lord.
122.
O People!
Do not cling to the rope of falsehood; cling to the Rope of God, if ye but know.
123.
Arise from the seats of heedlessness and give praise unto God in His Days.
124.
Verily, We have given you this Glad-Tidings in truth, if ye but comprehend."
125.
Pharaoh responded:
"Who is Your Lord, O Moses?"
126.
Moses said:
"He is the One Who created Me and sent Me with Sovereignty from His side, if ye believe!
127.
He is the One Who created you, sustained you and gave you of the ornaments of this Dominion and hath bestowed upon you sovereignty.
128.
Happily ye may follow His Cause and be of those who are walking in the Path of the Good Pleasure of the Spirit."
129.
Indeed Pharaoh did not heed and did not believe in His Lord - not for an instant.
130.
Hence, We hath caused him and his people to drown in the ocean of their arrogance, and made them a sign for those who follow them in this world, and for those who contemplate upon the signs of God. [7]

When Moses passed on, We sent after Him the Spirit of the spirit
and We Named Him, Jesus, in this kingdom, if ye but know it.
132.
Verily, We hath sanctified Him from any abhorrent sin; made Him hearken to the warbling of the Nightingale; made Him attracted by the favor of the Invisible Abode; and purified Him with a Holy and Spiritual Water!
133.
Then We have breathed into Him the Essence of the Spirit; clothed Him with the Mantle of Prophethood; have chosen Him from all people and made Him a Sign for those who were fashioned by the Word of God prior to and after their creation.
134.
We, verily, have loved Him in the Concourse on High prior to the creation of whosoever was created out of solid clay in this world.
|
|
|
135.
In Truth! We have commanded all who are in the heavens and on the earth by His command and hath taken the Covenant from all things on His behalf.
136.
Verily, this hath been preordained in the Tablets of the Spirit with the fragrant and divine ink.
137.
Thus We have sent Him with Holy breezes
and made Him a sheer Sign for those who dwell in the Paradise of Majesty and Grandeur,
and commanded Him to shower upon all creation, out of the surging waves of this roaring Ocean,
heavenly rains that We have entrusted Him.
138.
Alas! None have realized this, except Us.
139.
I, verily, am the Truth that was concealed throughout Eternity behind the veils of might and power.
140.
When the Mystery of the Word was ready within His Temple, He called out:
141.
"O People!
Fear God and do not follow the inclinations of your satanic selves;
and fear the Day that all of you shall return unto your Lord.
142.
I do not call you except unto God;
and give you the Glad Tidings of the Days
where the Nightingale shall warble upon the Tree of Majesty, if ye can hear;
143.
the Day when God shall Manifest Himself with His Cause
and speak with the Sweet Tongue of Ali.
144.
This is the Day for which all the Temples of Holiness shall yearn but will be unable to attain, except those who were wholly detached from all else but God.
145.
O People!
Hasten to attain the Presence of God in His Days,
for this is what will benefit you most from all upon which the sun shines, if ye truly believe.
145.
O People!
This is the Book of God. Believe in It and do not pervert It from that which ye have been ordered in Truth, if ye but know!
146.
For it is not by earthly bounties that man will be reborn,
yet with every Word that comes out of the Mouth of God,
the Powerful, the Mighty, the Help in Peril, the Most Holy.
147.
O People!
Hearken unto what We have revealed unto you of the words of wisdom and neglect not the Book of God, and respond to the Caller of the Spirit, Who calls you by this Fire of the Lamp of Truth, by which ye shall be guided.
148.
O People!
We do not ask from you any reward, compensation or gratitude.
149.
Verily, My reward is with the One Who created Me and sent Me in Truth and made Me a Sovereign unto you.
150.
Perchance, I may bring you closer to the Holy Court and guide you to the Pavilions of Majesty and Power, if ye desire to enter therein."
151.
Alas! None of them believed, neither did they turn to this luminous and well-treasured Countenance.
152.
Among the people were those who rejected Him; others who turned away from Him; yet others, who unjustly argued with Him.
153.
Some others even mocked and ridiculed Him to the degree that the world constrained Him to the point that there was no safe place for Him to dwell therein.
154.
Verily, We were fully aware of His plight;
thus,We revealed unto you with this powerful and mighty Pen
155.
that, in the end, We sent Him Our victory in Truth,
and made Him triumphant with Invisible Hosts, and raised Him up unto the Heaven of Holiness.
156.
Thus We cut off the hands of rejection and prevented them from touching the Hem of His Robe.
157.
Thus We reward those who in the Path of Our good pleasure, patiently endure.
158.
Thus We reveal unto thee out of the mysteries of Our Cause that which previously the hands of the people have wrought, as they continue to do today!
159.
Learn well from the past chronicles that which hath befallen the Prophets and Messengers of God.
160.
Perchance ye may become fully cognizant in all matters of your religion
and be among those who enter into the City of Eternal Peace. [8]

After duration of time, Muhammad was sent in Truth
and We made Him Shine with splendor from the Divine Wilderness,
just as the Sun of Eternity shines upon the Crystal White City.
162.
When that light radiantly shone, it illumined Yathrib of Holiness, and the sacred Wilderness of Grandeur, if ye but know it!
163.
Thus have We raised the Clouds of Providence and caused them to shower down upon these Pure Cities the rain of well desired Grace.
164.
Perchance in the hearts of the Holy Ones there may flourish profound mystical knowledge.
165.
We, verily, have made Seas of Grace to surge forth from this bountiful rain and through this,
We, verily, have renewed all the religions and out of these sanctified Divine Seasons have manifested every thing in verdant, embellished Springtime Forms.
166.
He called out:
"O People!
Believe in God Who created and sustained you and give praises unto Him for what He hath given you out of His infinite bounties; and be not of those who denounce God’s favors.
167.
O People!
I am but the Bearer of the Glad-Tidings and a Warner.
168.
I bring you the Glad-Tidings of the Ridván of God and warn you of the Day on which ye shall be resurrected out of the dust and questioned as to what ye have committed during your trivial lives.
169.
Verily, ye shall pay for what you have wrought in your days.
170.
O People!
I speak not out of My own passion.
171.
This is what was revealed unto Me
– that there is no God but Him, the Mighty, the Powerful, the Praised One.
172.
O People!
This is My Path, so follow It and follow not those who commit abominations and whatsoever else God hath forbidden to them, who were drowned in their own evil selves and passion.
173.
O People!
We desire nothing from you.
My recompense is only from the One Who sent Me in Truth.
174.
Happily, ye will not dispute with the religion of God;
nor will you follow the false and corrupt leaders,
nor be of those who refute the attainment of the Presence of God,
the Mighty, the Help in Peril, and Self-Subsistent.
175.
O People!
Deprive not yourselves, neither deprive your souls but hasten to the Path of Holiness in this Sacred Shore which none have entered except those who traverse the Spiritual Dominion, with whom, verily, God was well-pleased.
176.
O People!
Be appreciative of these days for the eyes of Eternity have not witnessed like unto them.
177.
So fear God and do not transgress against His Messengers."
178.
They replied:
"Thou art not but a man like us and we do not want to follow Your Cause.
179.
You have no privilege above us.
180.
You are naught except a crazed and bewitched man."
181.
Thus, Some have turned away from Him;
others challenged Him by requesting:
182.
"Send down unto us Sustenance from Heaven, or, send down to us Hosts of Angels,
or, make a wellspring to gush with Water, or, bring us mint solid gold."
183.
He replied:
"O People, I am but a man like you;
I bring you God’s messages and do not utter a letter from Myself
for God is Witness between you and Me.
184.
Fear God and do not let the glamour and ornamentations of this world seduce you,
but seek refuge in God’s Covenant and never turn away from His Cause.
185.
We have not commanded you except that which God hath commanded,
and unto this every atom in the universe bears witness,
if ye hearken and hear with the ears of Spirit.

O People!
These are the signs of God that were revealed unto you; by what proof do you profess faith after this?
187.
Verily, God hath never ordained any proof in this Dominion greater than these Verses.
188.
This is one of His evidences.
So fear God and do not be arrogant towards His signs.
189.
Verily, this Evidence (the Word of God) no one on earth can harm or destroy and nothing in the Heavens can match it, if ye, in the Days of God, can see with the sight of God!
190.
They replied:
"We shall not believe in Thee or the One Who sent Thee because Thou art not but a man who wants to prevent us from worshiping what our forefathers have worshipped.
