In the name of God, the All-Benevolent, the Benevolent. Praise be to God, Originator of the heavens and the earth, who made the Agents messengers organized into departments — by twos, by threes, by fours.

ٮسم الله الرحمں الرحٮم الحمد لله ڡاطر السموٮ والارص حاعل الملٮكه رسلا اولى احٮحه مٮٮى وٮلٮ ورٮع

He adds to creation whatever He wills.

ٮرٮد ڡى الحلٯ ما ٮسا

Whatever benevolence God opens up for mankind, none can hold it back,

ما ٮڡٮح الله للٮاس مں رحمه ڡلا ممسك لها

and whatever He holds back, none can release it after Him.

وما ٮمسك ڡلا مرسل له مں ٮعده

O mankind, remember God's blessing upon you.

ٮاٮها الٮاس ادكروا ٮعمٮ الله علٮكم

Is there any creator other than God who provides for you from the sky and the earth?

هل مں حلٯ عٮر الله ٮررڡكم مں السما والارص

There is no deity but Him.

لا اله الا هو

And if they deny you, messengers before you were already denied.

واں ٮكدٮوك ڡڡد كدٮٮ رسل مں ڡٮلك

O mankind, God's promise is indeed true.

ٮاٮها الٮاس اں وعد الله حٯ

So do not let the present life delude you,

ڡلا ٮعرٮكم الحٮوه الدٮٮا

The Diverter is indeed an enemy to you: so take him as an enemy.

اں السٮطں لكم عدو ڡاٮحدوه عدوا

Those who disown will have a severe punishment,

الدٮں كڡروا لهم عداٮ سدٮد

The one to whom the evil of his deed has been made appealing, so that he sees it as beautiful?

اڡمں رٮں له سو عمله ڡراه حسٮا

God indeed leads astray whom He wills, and guides whom He wills.

ڡاں الله ٮصل مں ٮسا وٮهدى مں ٮسا

So let not your Self waste away in desolation over them.

ڡلا ٮدهٮ ٮڡسك علٮهم حسرٮ

It is God who has sent the winds, which stir up clouds; We drove them to a dead land, and by them We brought the earth back to life after its death.

والله الدى ارسل الرٮح ڡٮٮٮر سحاٮا ڡسڡٮه الى ٮلد مٮٮ ڡاحٮٮٮا ٮه الارص ٮعد موٮها

Whoever desires might, it is to God that might belongs in its entirety.

مں كاں ٮرٮد العره ڡلله العره حمٮعا

To Him ascends the wholesome word,

الٮه ٮصعد الكلم الطٮٮ

and the sound deed, He elevates it.

والعمل الصلح ٮرڡعه

And those who plot evil deeds will have a severe punishment,

والدٮں ٮمكروں السٮاٮ لهم عداٮ سدٮد

God created you from earth, then from a drop, then made you into pairs.

والله حلڡكم مں ٮراٮ ٮم مں ٮطڡه ٮم حعلكم اروحا

No female carries nor gives birth except with His knowledge.

وما ٮحمل مں اٮٮى ولا ٮصع الا ٮعلمه

No being has his life extended, nor is his life shortened, except that it is in a record.

وما ٮعمر مں معمر ولا ٮٮڡص مں عمره الا ڡى كٮٮ

The two seas are not equal:

وما ٮسٮوى الٮحراں

this one is sweet, fresh, pleasant to drink, and that one is salty, bitter.

هدا عدٮ ڡراٮ ساٮع سراٮه وهدا ملح احاح

And from each you eat fresh flesh, and you extract an ornament that you wear,

ومں كل ٮاكلوں لحما طرٮا وٮسٮحرحوں حلٮه ٮلٮسوٮها

He makes the night penetrate into the day, and makes the day penetrate into the night,

ٮولح الٮل ڡى الٮهار وٮولح الٮهار ڡى الٮل

and He has subjected the sun and the moon,

وسحر السمس والڡمر

each running to an appointed term.

كل ٮحرى لاحل مسمى

That is God, your Guardian; to Him belongs the dominion.

دلكم الله رٮكم له الملك

If you call upon them, they do not hear your call; and even if they heard, they would not respond to you.

اں ٮدعوهم لا ٮسمعوا دعاكم ولو سمعوا ما اسٮحاٮوا لكم

And on the Day of Appearance they will disown your association.

وٮوم الڡٮمه ٮكڡروں ٮسرككم

O mankind, it is you who are the poor before God,

ٮاٮها الٮاس اٮٮم الڡڡرا الى الله

And no bearer of burden shall bear the burden of another;

ولا ٮرر وارره ورر احرى

and if one heavily laden calls for help with his freight, nothing of it will be carried, even by a close relative.

واں ٮدع مٮڡله الى حملها لا ٮحمل مٮه سى ولو كاں دا ڡرٮى

You only warn those who dread their Guardian even though He escapes their senses, and maintain the Contact,

اٮما ٮٮدر الدٮں ٮحسوں رٮهم ٮالعٮٮ واڡاموا الصلوه

and whoever purifies himself purifies himself only for himself.

ومں ٮركى ڡاٮما ٮٮركى لٮڡسه

Nor are the living and the dead equal.

وما ٮسٮوى الاحٮا ولا الاموٮ

God indeed makes whoever He wills hear,

اں الله ٮسمع مں ٮسا

We have sent you, in truth, as a bearer of good tidings and a warner.

اٮا ارسلٮك ٮالحٯ ٮسٮرا وٮدٮرا

And if they deny you, those before them already denied: their messengers came to them with clear proofs, the Formularies, and the illuminating Scripture; then I seized those who disowned.

واں ٮكدٮوك ڡڡد كدٮ الدٮں مں ڡٮلهم حاٮهم رسلهم ٮالٮٮٮٮ وٮالرٮر وٮالكٮٮ المٮٮر ٮم احدٮ الدٮں كڡروا

Have you not seen that God sends down water from the sky, by which We bring forth fruits of varying colors?

الم ٮر اں الله اٮرل مں السما ما ڡاحرحٮا ٮه ٮمرٮ محٮلڡا الوٮها

And among mankind, and living beings, and cattle, there is likewise a variety of colors.

ومں الٮاس والدواٮ والاٮعم محٮلڡ الوٮه كدلك

Only those who know, among His obedient ones, dread God.

اٮما ٮحسى الله مں عٮاده العلموا

Those who recite the Scripture of God, maintain the Contact, and spend, secretly and openly, from what We have provided them, hope for a trade that will never perish, so that He may faithfully repay them their rewards and give them more of His favor.

اں الدٮں ٮٮلوں كٮٮ الله واڡاموا الصلوه واٮڡڡوا مما ررڡٮهم سرا وعلاٮٮه ٮرحوں ٮحره لں ٮٮور لٮوڡٮهم احورهم وٮرٮدهم مں ڡصله

And what We have revealed to you of the Scripture is the truth, confirming what came before it.

والدى اوحٮٮا الٮك مں الكٮٮ هو الحٯ مصدڡا لما ٮٮں ٮدٮه

Then We caused the Scripture to be inherited by those We chose among Our obedient ones:

ٮم اورٮٮا الكٮٮ الدٮں اصطڡٮٮا مں عٮادٮا

among them is one who wrongs himself,

ڡمٮهم طالم لٮڡسه

one who follows a moderate course,

ومٮهم مڡٮصد

and one who races ahead in good deeds, by God's permission.

ومٮهم ساٮٯ ٮالحٮرٮ ٮادں الله

Gardens of permanence, which they will enter, ornamented therein with bracelets of gold and pearls,

حٮٮ عدں ٮدحلوٮها ٮحلوں ڡٮها مں اساور مں دهٮ ولولوا

And those who disown will have the fire of Jahannam; it will not be decreed for them to die, nor will its punishment be lightened for them.

والدٮں كڡروا لهم ٮار حهٮم لا ٮڡصى علٮهم ڡٮموٮوا ولا ٮحڡڡ عٮهم مں عداٮها

And there they will shriek: "Our Guardian, bring us out, we will do sound deeds, other than what we used to do!"

وهم ٮصطرحوں ڡٮها رٮٮا احرحٮا ٮعمل صلحا عٮر الدى كٮا ٮعمل

Did We not grant you a life long enough that whoever wished to remember could remember? And the warner had come to you.

اولم ٮعمركم ما ٮٮدكر ڡٮه مں ٮدكر وحاكم الٮدٮر

So taste,

ڡدوڡوا

God indeed knows what escapes the senses in the heavens and the earth;

اں الله علم عٮٮ السموٮ والارص

It is He who made you successors on the earth:

هو الدى حعلكم حلٮڡ ڡى الارص

whoever disowns, his disowning falls back upon him,

ڡمں كڡر ڡعلٮه كڡره

and the disowning of the disowners only increases them in loathing before their Guardian,

ولا ٮرٮد الكڡرٮں كڡرهم عٮد رٮهم الا مڡٮا

Say: "Have you considered your partners whom you call upon besides God? Show me what they have created of the earth, or do they have a share in the heavens?

ڡل ارٮٮم سركاكم الدٮں ٮدعوں مں دوں الله اروٮى مادا حلڡوا مں الارص ام لهم سرك ڡى السموٮ

Or have We given them a scripture, so that they rely on clear proofs from it?"

ام اٮٮٮهم كٮٮا ڡهم على ٮٮٮٮ مٮه

God indeed holds the heavens and the earth, lest they cease to exist;

اں الله ٮمسك السموٮ والارص اں ٮرولا

and were they to cease, none besides Him could hold them.

ولٮں رالٮا اں امسكهما مں احد مں ٮعده

And they swore by God, with the utmost strength of their oaths, that if a warner came to them, they would certainly be better guided than any of the communities.

واڡسموا ٮالله حهد اٮمٮهم لٮں حاهم ٮدٮر لٮكوٮں اهدى مں احدى الامم

growing proud in the land, and evil plotting.

اسٮكٮارا ڡى الارص ومكر السٮى

But evil plotting only envelops its own doers.

ولا ٮحٮٯ المكر السٮى الا ٮاهله

So do they await anything but the norm of the ancients?

ڡهل ٮٮطروں الا سٮٮ الاولٮں

But you will never find any change in God's norm,

ڡلں ٮحد لسٮٮ الله ٮٮدٮلا

Have they not traveled through the earth and looked at what was the end of those before them, who were yet superior to them in strength?

اولم ٮسٮروا ڡى الارص ڡٮٮطروا كٮڡ كاں عڡٮه الدٮں مں ڡٮلهم وكاٮوا اسد مٮهم ڡوه

And nothing in the heavens or on the earth could render God powerless.

وما كاں الله لٮعحره مں سى ڡى السموٮ ولا ڡى الارص

And if God were to seize mankind for what they have earned, He would not leave on the face of the earth any living being;

ولو ٮواحد الله الٮاس ٮما كسٮوا ما ٮرك على طهرها مں داٮه

but He adjourns them until an appointed term.

ولكں ٮوحرهم الى احل مسمى
