When the help of Allah comes and the victory and the age turns to us, it will be asked: Is this not the truth? Those who have disbelieved are in patent error. I was a hidden treasure and liked to be known. The heavens and the earth were a solid mass and We split them asunder. Say: I am but a human being, it is revealed to me that your God is One God and that all good is contained in the Qur’an, to the deeper meaning of which only the pure can penetrate. I have lived a whole life among you before this, then do you not understand? Say: The only true guidance is the guidance of Allah and my Lord is with me. He will show me the way. Lord, forgive and show mercy from heaven. Lord, I am overcome, do You avenge me. My Lord, my Lord, why have you forsaken me? O ‘Abdul-Q a dir I am with you, hearing and seeing.

I have poured My love on you so that you might be nurtured under My care like a seed that puts forth its sprout, then makes it strong; it then becomes thick and stands firm on its stem. We have bestowed upon you a clear victory so that Allah might wipe out your previous and subsequent weaknesses. Then be of the grateful. Is not Allah Sufficient for His servant?

When his Lord manifested Himself on the mountain He broke it into bits and Allah will frustrate the plans of the disbelievers. So that We might make him a Sign for the people and a mercy from Ourself and so that We might bestow upon him glory from Ourself and thus do We reward those who do good. You are with Me and I am with you. Your secret is My secret, the secrets of the friends of Allah cannot be numbered. You are based on clear truth, of high standing in the world and in the hereafter and of those who are close to Allah. A foolish one recognises only the fatal blow. He is My enemy and your enemy, he is like a calf with an inanimate body from which proceeds a meaningless sound. Say: The command of Allah is approaching, so do not be of those who are in a hurry. The moon of the Prophets will come to you and your affair will become manifest. It is incumbent upon Us to help the believers. ** So on the day the truth arrives and will be laid open
