People are asleep. Were they to wake they would hasten with all their hearts to God, the Knower, the Wise One.
They would throw away what they have, even were it all the treasures of the present world, that their Master may remember them with a word from Him.

The drunkenness of passion has seized upon them because they do not see the Master of mankind (al-wara), whose cry is raised from all directions: "There is no God besides Me, the Mighty, the Wise."
