We conclude Our argument with His words—exalted is He—“And whoso shall withdraw from the remembrance of the Merciful, We will chain a Satan unto him, and he shall be his fast companion."(184) “And whoso turneth away from My remembrance, truly his shall be a life of misery."(185)
Thus hath it been revealed aforetime, were ye to comprehend.
Revealed by the “Ba’” and the “Ha."(186)
Peace be upon him that inclineth his ear unto the
melody of the Mystic
Bird calling from the Sadratu’l-Muntaha!
Glorified be our Lord, the Most High!
