Kitab-i-Badi/English413

Say: At one time he calls himself by all names, and at another time he distances himself from it and from everything that was created between the heavens and the earth and from everything that was and will be. Say: All matters are in His grasp. He does whatever he wants by his command, and whoever says “why” and “by what” has disbelieved in God, the Powerful, the Dominant, the Ever-Living. Be afraid of God and do not follow the path of the first to turn away from God. Avoid it, then I ask forgiveness from your Lord, perhaps He will bestow on your reality what removes the scents of these people, and He is the Forgiving, the Compassionate. If you listen, then it is for yourself, and if you deny and turn away, then it is against it. Your Lord, the Most Merciful, has no need of what is in the universes, and He is the Most Holy, Exalted, the Exalted, the Exalted, the Praised.
