_Chapter LXVIII._
"The people, during the absence of the Bab, re-enacted ..."
The people, during the absence of the Bab, re-enacted the episode of the
Calf by setting up a blaring figure which embodied animal features in
human form(45) ...
Whenever the people ask Thee of the appointed Hour say: Verily the
knowledge of it is only with My Lord,(46) Who is the Knower of the unseen.
There is none other God but Him--He Who hath created you from a single
soul,(47) and I have no control over what profiteth Me or harmeth Me, but
as My Lord pleaseth.(48) Indeed God is Self-Sufficient and He, My Lord,
standeth supreme over all things. _Chapter LXIX._
"Doth it seem strange to the people that We should have ..."
Doth it seem strange to the people that We should have revealed the Book
to a man from among themselves in order to purge them and give them the
good tidings that they shall be rewarded with a sure stance in the
presence of their Lord? He indeed beareth witness unto all things...
When the verses of this Book are recited to the infidels they say: 'Give
us a book like the Qur'an and make changes in the verses.' Say: 'God hath
not given Me that I should change them at My pleasure.' I follow only what
is revealed unto Me. Verily, I shall fear My Lord on the Day of
Separation, whose advent He hath, in very truth, irrevocably ordained.(49)
_Chapter LXXI._
"O Peoples of the earth! Verily the true God calleth ..."
O Peoples of the earth! Verily the true God calleth saying: He Who is the
Remembrance is indeed the sovereign Truth from God, and naught remaineth
beyond truth but error,(50) and naught is there beyond error save fire,
irrevocably ordained.
