The light of the people of the world is their knowledge and
utterance; while the splendours shed from the glorious acts of Him Whom God
shall make manifest are His Words, through whose potency He rolleth up the
whole world of existence, sets it under His Own authority by relating it unto
Himself, then as the Mouthpiece of God, the Source of His divine light—exalted
and glorified be He—proclaimeth: ‘Verily, verily, I am God, no God is there but
Me; in truth all others except Me are My creatures. Say, O My creatures! Me
alone, therefore, should ye fear’.
