52. So by God! Should the heat of the fire be attained, it would dazzle the sight. Wherefore extol the Fashioner, the Creator, the Ordainer, the Manager of all affairs, the Mighty, the Most Dreadful. This proceedeth from the Foundation of the Spirit and the Truest Condition. Should It be understood in another manner, It would apply as an expression through which the dead bodies would be quickened, and they would stand forth from their graves and be gathered together in the land of their predisposition. The resurrection of the bodies then becometh clear unto thee as a Day in which the Trumpet shall be blown and the garb of the entire creation is renewed by reason of It; all those in attendance becometh an Assembly of Holiness by virtue of their deeds and they are rewarded for that which they accomplished in the previous life, and they shall fulfill whatsoever they seek to accomplish should they renew themselves. Wherefore, the melodies of the Nightingale are renewed and transformeth whosoever dwelleth in the heavens or on the earth, the land of knowledge is unfolded, the Cockerel of Oneness lolleth out its tongue, and the believers ride, at such a time, upon the Buráq of Light. Were We to mention unto thee all of that which shall appear in this Day, Tablets would not be able to bear it and souls would be disturbed by it. For this reason We shall conceal its message and We now return unto that which We hath formerly mentioned, that the grace from the Presence of God may appear before those who enter within the garb of being.
