Bismi Llaahi l-raḥmaani l-raḥeem

  1. By those disclosed one after another;

  2. That blow about violently;

  3. Who bring to life and cause to rise;

  4. Who choose and separate;

  5. And those who disclose the reminder (the forces that manifest in consciousness; the Exalted Assembly [Mala-i Ala]. The word ‘ilqa’ or ‘liqa’ [disclosure] is like ‘nafh’ [breath] in that it goes outward from within; it is an explicit projection experienced in the consciousness. In the sequence: the Hidden [Reflection of Attributes], the Secret [Reflection of Names], the Spirit [Fuad: Reflectors of the Names], the Heart [Consciousness] and the Self [Identity – Individual consciousness]. It looks to the reflections from the spirit to the heart. ‘Vicegerent’ [Khalifa] – ‘Man’ is the totality of all of these states or one who incorporates all of these states is called a true ‘Man’).

  24. Woe to the deniers at that time!

  25. Did We not make the earth a place of gathering?

  26. For the living and the dead!

  28. Woe to the deniers at that time!

  29. Proceed to that which you denied!
