Take heed that thou resign not the reins of the affairs of thy state into the hands of others, and repose not thy confidence in ministers unworthy of thy trust, and be not of them that live in heedlessness.  Shun them whose hearts are turned away from thee, and place not thy confidence in them, and entrust them not with thy affairs and the affairs of such as profess thy faith.  Beware that thou allow not the wolf to become the shepherd of God’s flock, and surrender not the fate of His loved ones to the mercy of the malicious.  Expect not that they who violate the ordinances of God will be trustworthy or sincere in the faith they profess.  Avoid them, and preserve strict guard over thyself, lest their devices and mischief hurt thee.  Turn away from them, and fix thy gaze upon God, thy Lord, the All-Glorious, the Most Bountiful.  He that giveth up himself wholly to God, God shall, assuredly, be with him; and he that placeth his complete trust in God, God shall, verily, protect him from whatsoever may harm him, and shield him from the wickedness of every evil plotter.

Wert thou to incline thine ear unto My speech and observe My counsel, God would exalt thee to so eminent a position that the designs of no man on the whole earth could ever touch or hurt thee.  Observe, O King, with thine inmost heart and with thy whole being, the precepts of God, and walk not in the paths of the oppressor.  Seize thou, and hold firmly within the grasp of thy might, the reins of the affairs of thy people, and examine in person whatever pertaineth unto them.  Let nothing escape thee, for therein lieth the highest good.

Render thanks unto God for having chosen thee out of the whole world, and made thee king over them that profess thy faith.  It well beseemeth thee to appreciate the wondrous favours with which God hath favoured thee, and to magnify continually His name.  Thou canst best praise Him if thou lovest His loved ones, and dost safeguard and protect His servants from the mischief of the treacherous, that none may any longer oppress them.  Thou shouldst, moreover, arise to enforce the law of God amongst them, that thou mayest be of those who are firmly established in His law.

Shouldst thou cause rivers of justice to spread their waters amongst thy subjects, God would surely aid thee with the hosts of the unseen and of the seen and would strengthen thee in thine affairs.  No God is there but Him.  All creation and its empire are His.  Unto Him return the works of the faithful.

Place not thy reliance on thy treasures.  Put thy whole confidence in the grace of God, thy Lord.  Let Him be thy trust in whatever thou doest, and be of them that have submitted themselves to His Will.  Let Him be thy helper and enrich thyself with His treasures, for with Him are the treasuries of the heavens and of the earth.  He bestoweth them upon whom He will, and from whom He will He withholdeth them.  There is none other God but Him, the All-Possessing, the All-Praised.  All are but paupers at the door of His mercy; all are helpless before the revelation of His sovereignty, and beseech His favours.
