“Read ye the Evangel and yet refuse to acknowledge the...”

Read ye the Evangel and yet refuse to acknowledge the All-Glorious Lord?  This indeed beseemeth you not, O concourse of learned men!...  The fragrances of the All-Merciful have wafted over all creation.  Happy the man that hath forsaken his desires, and taken fast hold of guidance.

“Perused ye not the Qur’an?  Read it, that haply ye may...”

Perused ye not the Qur’an?  Read it, that haply ye may find the Truth, for this Book is verily the Straight Path.  This is the Way of God unto all who are in the heavens and all who are on the earth.  If ye have been careless of the Qur’an, the Bayan cannot be regarded to be remote from you.  Behold it open before your eyes.  Read ye its verses, lest perchance ye desist from committing that which will cause the Messengers of God to mourn and lament.

Speed out of your sepulchres.  How long will ye sleep?  The second blast hath been blown on the trumpet.  On whom are ye gazing?  This is your Lord, the God of Mercy.  Witness how ye gainsay His signs!  The earth hath quaked with a great quaking, and cast forth her burdens.  Will ye not admit it?  Say:  Will ye not recognize how the mountains have become like flocks of wool, how the people are sore vexed at the awful majesty of the Cause of God?  Witness how their houses are empty ruins, and they themselves a drowned host.

This is the Day whereon the All-Merciful hath come down in the clouds of knowledge, clothed with manifest sovereignty.  He well knoweth the actions of men.  He it is Whose glory none can mistake, could ye but comprehend it.  The heaven of every religion hath been rent, and the earth of human understanding been cleft asunder, and the angels of God are seen descending.  Say:  This is the Day of mutual deceit; whither do ye flee?  The mountains have passed away, and the heavens have been folded together, and the whole earth is held within His grasp, could ye but understand it.  Who is it that can protect you?  None, by Him Who is the All-Merciful!  None, except God, the Almighty, the All-Glorious, the Beneficent.  Every woman that hath had a burden in her womb hath cast her burden.  We see men drunken in this Day, the Day in which men and angels have been gathered together.

Is there any doubt concerning God?  Behold how He hath come down from the heaven of His grace, girded with power and invested with sovereignty.  Is there any doubt concerning His signs?  Open ye your eyes, and consider His clear evidence.  Paradise is on your right hand, and hath been brought nigh unto you, while Hell hath been made to blaze.  Witness its devouring flame.  Haste ye to enter into Paradise, as a token of Our mercy unto you, and drink ye from the hands of the All-Merciful the Wine that is life indeed.

“By Him Who is the Great Announcement!  The All-Merciful...”

By Him Who is the Great Announcement!  The All-Merciful is come invested with undoubted sovereignty.  The Balance hath been appointed, and all them that dwell on earth have been gathered together.  The Trumpet hath been blown, and lo, all eyes have stared up with terror, and the hearts of all who are in the heavens and on the earth have trembled, except them whom the breath of the verses of God hath quickened, and who have detached themselves from all things.
