XXXVII: Blessed is the man that hath acknowledged...

1 |
Blessed is the man that hath acknowledged his belief in God and in His signs, and recognized
that "He shall not be asked of His doings."
Such a recognition hath been made by God the ornament
of every belief, and its very foundation. Upon
it must depend the acceptance of every goodly deed.
Fasten your eyes upon it, that haply the whisperings
of the rebellious may not cause you to slip.

Were He to decree as lawful the thing which from
time immemorial had been forbidden, and forbid
that which had, at all times, been regarded as lawful,
to none is given the right to question His authority.
Whoso will hesitate, though it be for less than a
moment, should be regarded as a transgressor.

Whoso hath not recognized this sublime and
fundamental verity, and hath failed to attain this
most exalted station, the winds of doubt will agitate
him, and the sayings of the infidels will distract his
soul. He that hath acknowledged this principle will
be endowed with the most perfect constancy. All
honor to this all-glorious station, the remembrance of
which adorneth every exalted Tablet. Such is the
teaching which God bestoweth on you, a teaching
that will deliver you from all manner of doubt and
perplexity, and enable you to attain unto salvation in
both this world and in the next. He, verily, is the
Ever-Forgiving, the Most Bountiful.
