CONCLUSION [TRANSLATION OF REVELATIONS] and seen. There are people who accepted the guidance and there are people who have earned torment. They will say, 'He is not a Messenger of God. ' Tell them, 'My truth is being testified by God Himself as well as those who have knowledge of the Book of Allah. ' Allah will help you at a difficult time. The commandment of Allah, the Gracious, for His vicegerent, for whom is the heavenly kingdom: he will be bestowed a vast kingdom; treas- ures will be opened for him. This is Allah's grace and is strange in your eyes. Say, 'O ye who disbelieve! I am of the truthful ones. So wait a while for My Signs. ' We shall soon show them Our Signs around them and in their own selves. On that day the argu- ments will be carried to its conclusion and there will be a clear victory. Allah will decide between you on that day. Allah does not guide the one who exceeds the limits and is a great liar. We shall bear that burden of yours which has well-nigh bro- ken your back. We shall cut the roots off of the people who do not believe in the veritable truth. Tell them, 'Continue on your side to strive for your success; I shall continue to strive on my side. Then soon will you know whose efforts are deemed wor- thy of acceptance. Allah will be with those who adopt right- eousness and with those who are engaged in doing good deeds. Has not the news of the destined earthquake come to you? Call to mind, when the earth shall be shaken violently and it shall bring forth all of its inner burdens and man will ask, 'What is the matter with the earth, that such a calamity has overtaken it?' On that day, the earth shall narrate the events that befell it. God shall reveal to His Messenger the trouble that has befallen it. Do the people imagine that this earthquake will not strike? It will certainly strike, and at a time when they will be com- pletely unprepared and everyone will be distracted in their own worldly pursuits when the earthquake shall seize them. They 915
