"SAY, God is the Lord and all are worshippers unto ..."

SAY, God is the Lord and all are worshippers unto Him.
Say, God is the True One and all pay homage unto Him.
This is God, your Lord, and unto Him shall ye return.
Is there any doubt concerning God? He hath created you and all things. The Lord of all worlds is He.

SAY, verily any one follower of this Faith can, by the leave
of God, prevail over all who dwell in heaven and earth
and in whatever lieth between them; for indeed this is,
beyond the shadow of a doubt, the one true Faith. Therefore
fear ye not, neither be ye grieved.

Say, God hath, according to that which is revealed in the
Book, taken upon Himself the task of ensuring the ascendancy
of any one of the followers of the Truth, over and
above one hundred other souls, and the supremacy of one
hundred believers over one thousand non-believers and the
domination of one thousand of the faithful over all the
peoples and kindreds of the earth; inasmuch as God calleth
into being whatsoever He willeth by virtue of His behest.
Verily He is potent over all things.

Say, the power of God is in the hearts of those who
believe in the unity of God and bear witness that no God
is there but Him, while the hearts of them that associate
partners with God are impotent, devoid of life on this
earth, for assuredly they are dead.

5 |
The Day is approaching when God will render the hosts
of Truth victorious, and He will purge the whole earth in
such wise that within the compass of His knowledge not a
single soul shall remain unless he truly believeth in God,
worshippeth none other God but Him, boweth down by
day and by night in His adoration, and is reckoned among
such as are well assured.
| |
6 |
Say, God indeed is the Sovereign Truth, Who is manifestly
Supreme over His servants; He is the Help in Peril,
the Self-Subsisting.
