Parágrafo 24

24

These are they who, in truth, were not enjoined to prostrate themselves before Adam.[1] They have never turned away from the countenance of Thy Lord, and partake at every moment of the gifts and delights of holiness. Thus hath the Pen of the All-Merciful set forth the secrets of all things, be they of the past or of the future. Would that the world might understand! Erelong shall God make manifest this people upon the earth, and through them shall exalt His name, diffuse His signs, uphold His words, and proclaim His verses, in spite of those that have repudiated His truth, gainsaid His sovereignty, and cavilled at His signs.

Estes, em verdade, são aqueles a quem não foi ordenado que se prostrassem perante Adão[1]. Eles nunca se afastaram do semblante do Teu Senhor, e partilham a cada momento as dádivas e os deleites da santidade. Assim a Pena do Todo Misericordioso expôs os segredos de todas as coisas, fossem do passado ou do futuro. Como seria bom se o mundo entendesse! Em breve, Deus tornará este povo manifesto na terra, e através dele exaltará o Seu nome, difundirá os Seus sinais, apoiará as Suas palavras, e proclamará os Seus versículos, apesar daqueles que repudiaram a Sua Verdade, refutaram a Sua soberania, e se opuseram aos Seus sinais.
