Let not the deeds of those who reject
the Truth shut you out as by a veil. Such people have warrant over your bodies only, and God hath not reposed in them power over
your spirits, your souls and your hearts. Fear ye God that haply it may be well
with you. All things have been created for your sakes, and for the sake of
naught else hath your creation been ordained. Fear ye God and take heed lest
forms and apparels debar you from recognizing Him. Render ye thanksgiving unto
God that perchance He may deal mercifully with you.
