Say, verily, the good-pleasure of Him Whom God shall make
manifest is the good-pleasure of God, while the displeasure of Him Whom God
shall make manifest is none other than the displeasure of God. Avoid ye His
displeasure, and flee for refuge unto His good-pleasure. Say, the living guides
to His good-pleasure are such as truly believe in Him and are well-assured in
their faith, while the living testimonies of His displeasure are those who,
when they hear the verses of God sent forth from His presence, or read the
divine words revealed by Him, do not instantly embrace the Faith and attain
unto certitude.
