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?
By the righteousness of Him Who hath called thee into being and unto Whom
ere long thou shalt return, if thou remainest, at the moment of death, a
disbeliever in the signs of thy Lord thou shalt surely enter the gates of
hell, and none of the deeds thy hands have wrought will profit thee, nor
shalt thou find a patron nor anyone to plead for thee.
