“I SWEAR by the most holy Essence of God—exalted and …” 104 |
|
Ponder a while and observe that everything in Islám hath
its ultimate and eventual beginning in the Book of God.
Consider likewise the Day of the Revelation of Him Whom
God shall make manifest, He in Whose grasp lieth the
source of proofs, and let not erroneous considerations shut
thee out from Him, for He is immeasurably exalted above
them, inasmuch as every proof proceedeth from the Book
of God which is itself the supreme testimony, as all men are
powerless to produce its like. Should myriads of men of
learning, versed in logic, in the science of grammar, in law,
in jurisprudence and the like, turn away from the Book of
God, they would still be pronounced unbelievers. Thus the
fruit is within the supreme testimony itself, not in the things
derived therefrom. And know thou of a certainty that
every letter revealed in the Bayán is solely intended to
evoke submission unto Him Whom God shall make manifest,
for it is He Who hath revealed the Bayán prior to His
Own manifestation. V, 8.
