O YE peoples of the earth! During the time of My
absence I sent down the Gates unto you. However the
believers, except for a handful, obeyed them not. Formerly
I sent forth unto you Aḥmad and more recently Kázim,
but apart from the pure in heart amongst you no one followed
them. What hath befallen you, O people of the
Book? Will ye not fear the One true God, He Who is your
Lord, the Ancient of Days?… O ye who profess belief in
God! I adjure you by Him Who is the Eternal Truth, have
ye discerned among the precepts of these Gates anything
inconsistent with the commandments of God as set forth
52
in this Book? Hath your learning deluded you by reason of
your impiety? Take ye heed then, for verily your God, the
Lord of Eternal Truth, is with you and in very truth is
watchful over you… Chapter XXVII.
