BB00350: Tawqi’a Qa’imiyyat

He is the Most Exalted.

In the Name of God, the Most Unapproachable, the Most Holy.

Say: He is the One manifest above His creation, the Protector, the Self-Subsisting. God bears witness that there is no God but Him. His is the creation and the command. He gives life and causes death, then causes death and gives life, and verily He is the Ever-Living Who dies not. Within His grasp lies the dominion of all things. He creates whatsoever He willeth through His command. Verily He has power over all things.

Say: God is truth and whatsoever is besides God is creation, and all are His worshippers. Say: God creates what He willeth by His command. Not an atom’s weight escapeth His knowledge in the heavens or in the earth or in what lieth between them. Verily He has knowledge of all things and power over all things.

O Muhammad, may God send His blessings upon thee, thy Lord, and upon those who are witnesses from His presence, then upon the gates of guidance and those who have believed in God and His signs. These are they upon whom blessings are sent and who submit themselves. The example of this Cause is like the fire of God which He will manifest on the Day of Resurrection. Those who enter therein, they are the ones who attain certitude that He is the Qa’im whom those in the kingdoms of the heavens and earth and what lies between them await, and all know Him by His command.

Say: The Day of Resurrection has been decreed to be fifty thousand years, and all were veiled from it. No spirit of the Bayan remained in any heart except those whom God exempted through His grace—the Letters of His Face or whomsoever He willeth from the letters of His creation. Verily He is possessed of great bounty.

Say: We initiated this creation and We shall repeat it—a promise binding upon Us. Verily We are powerful to accomplish it. Say: He Who created Muhammad before will create him again on the Day of Resurrection, then those who are witnesses from His presence, then whomsoever God willeth from among the Prophets and the truthful ones. Verily He has power over all things.

Say: The first to pledge allegiance to the Qa’im was Muhammad, the Messenger of God, then those nearest, even those nearest. Say: On that Day all who entered through the Gate prostrated to God, the Lord of the heavens and the Lord of the earth, the Lord of all worlds. For he is a light by his Lord’s leave, and thus do We reward the patient ones.

Say: The difference between the letter Alif in fire and the letter Waw in light is the numerical value of the Gate. Thus does God transform fire into light for those who were prostrating before God their Lord.

Say: The companions of the light are on that Day the companions of Paradise—they are the triumphant ones.

Say: These are the hosts of God and these are they who shall be made manifest in all the earth by God. For whatsoever is therein and thereon belongs to none save God, and all are His servants and all bow down before Him. Verily all that is in the heavens and earth and what lies between them has been created for those who were assured of God and His signs before and after.

Say: Muhammad and those who were witnesses after him, and all who believed in God and His signs, have returned to the life which all were promised. Say: That future abode is life by my Lord’s leave, and its inhabitants are sustained by the signs of God.

Say: We have brought forth another creation and made known what people did not know—a bounty from Our presence, for We are merciful to creation. Therefore take possession in the year wherein you shall be made manifest of what God has made lawful for you, and be not patient therein, for the entire Cause belongs to God and all shall return unto Him.

Command the people to recite the first verse of the Book at all times, before all times and after all times: God is Most Glorious, God is Most Exalted, God is Most Great, God is Most Luminous, God is Most Great, God is Most Manifest.
