This is the divinely-inscribed Book. This is the outspread
Tablet. Say, this indeed is the Frequented Fane, the sweet-scented Leaf, the
Tree of divine Revelation, the surging Ocean, the Utterance which lay
concealed, the Light above every light... Indeed every light is generated by
God through the power of His behest. He of a truth is the Light in the kingdom
of heaven and earth and whatever is between them. Through the radiance of His
light God imparteth illumination to your hearts and maketh firm your steps,
that perchance ye may yield praise unto Him.
Say, this of a certainty is the Garden of Repose, the
loftiest Point of adoration, the Tree beyond which there is no passing, the
blessed Lote-Tree, the Most Mighty Sign, the most beauteous Countenance and the
most comely Face.
