If you don't answer promptly, and if you do, you reveal yourself, not the words of polytheistic souls. Of course, reciting such supplications as mentioned, folding your hands and repeating them a hundred thousand times is preferred. Good words are spoken in remembrance and affirmation of God's command, not in contention and combat against Him. If, as mentioned in divine admonitions, the tongue is created to remember the Merciful, be sure not to bring him to the apparent words of Satan. The radiant tongue is a manifestation of truth, so do not make him aware of lying words! The treasury of expression and praise is mine, keep him busy with this and that, so that he may remain in his place, as the verse "inexhaustible tongue". What he says is able to continue as long as his existence is not cut off, except for what is preventing him from praising his Lord. And from him, a knowledgeable person perceives that divine knowledge has no end and will not end. Otherwise, the statement of the two worlds in him remains concealed, but it does not increase on his body. And meanings flow from him, and nothing is left of him. In this position, there are many supplications, and this servant has sufficed him briefly, perhaps your tongue is pure and pure from the illness of the soul and whims, and you speak in praise of God. Because today, the speaker is the one who stands up in praise of the truth, otherwise, he has been and will be a barker.
I wish you hadn't written a response, and if you did write one, you should have expressed your own thoughts, not the fabricated words of polytheistic souls. Indeed, remaining silent a hundred thousand times would have been better than uttering such statements. Speech is good when used for the remembrance and affirmation of God's cause, not for arguing and fighting against it. As mentioned in the divine commandments, the tongue is created for the remembrance of the Merciful, so beware of inclining it towards the words of Satan's manifestations. The tongue is the source of truthful light; do not make it the origin of false words! The tongue is the repository of My praise and glorification; do not occupy it with the mention of this and that, for I have placed it in a position where it is an inexhaustible verse.
 
Whatever it speaks, as long as existence remains, speech will not be cut off from it, unless some illness intervenes between it and the praise of its Lord. A perceptive knower recognizes that divine knowledge has no end and will never have one. The eloquent pearls of the universe are concealed within it, but they have not added to its essence. The rivers of meanings flow from it, and not a particle has been diminished from it.
 
There is much to mention in this regard, but this servant has been content with this brief account, hoping to purify the outward and inward tongue from the diseases of self and passion, and make it speak the praises of God. For today, the one who speaks is he who stands in the praise of the Truth, and otherwise, he is and will always be a mere prattler.
