O peoples of the earth! Bear ye allegiance unto this
resplendent light wherewith God hath graciously invested Me through the power
of infallible Truth, and walk not in the footsteps of the Evil One, [cf. Qur’án
2:204] inasmuch as he prompteth you to disbelieve in God, your Lord, and verily
God will not forgive disbelief in Himself, though He will forgive other sins to
whomsoever He pleaseth. [cf. Qur’án 4:51] Indeed His knowledge embraceth all
things...
