They that truly believe in God and in His signs, and who in
every Dispensation faithfully obey that which hath been revealed in the
Book—such are indeed the ones whom God hath created from the fruits of the
Paradise of His good-pleasure, and who are of the blissful. But they who turn
away from God and His signs in each Dispensation, those are the ones who sail
upon the sea of negation.
God hath, through the potency of His behest, ordained for
Himself the task of ensuring the ascendancy of the sea of affirmation and of
bringing to naught the sea of negation through the power of His might. He is in
truth potent over all things.
