Mahzarnama 67 knowledge in His Mighty Presence; Then how can it fall to the destiny of a mortal man to rival the Word of God? Man cannot even create the puny leg of an insect; How can it then be alleged to be a simple matter for a human being to fabricate the Light of Truth? O, ye people! pray observe the decorum of the Grandeur and Majesty of God; Hold your tongues even now, if you still have a modicum of faith left in you! Setting up anyone as a peer of God is the height of disbelief; Show reverence for God; What manner of falsehood and calumny are you committing! If you genuinely affirm the Unity of God; Then why is the tendency of "associating partners with God" (shirk) so deeply embedded in your hearts? How unfortunately have the curtains of ignorance fallen on your hearts! You are in error, desist from it, if you have an iota of fear of God! I am not the least bit maliciously motivated, my brethren! It is only a humble exhortation; Whoever exhibits purity of heart, I am ready to be lovingly devoted to him.
