Epistle to the Son of the Wolf — Paragraph 99

Source (Persian)

قم بين النّاس بهذا الامر المبرم ثمّ ادع الامم الی اللّه العزيز العظيم * لا تکن من الّذين کانوا ان يدعوا اللّه باسم من الاسماء فلمّا اتی المسمّی کفروا به و اعرضوا عنه الی ان افتوا عليه بظلم مبين * انظر ثمّ اذکر الايّام الّتی فيها اتی الرّوح و حکم عليه هيرودس * قد نصر اللّه الرّوح بجنود الغيب و حفظه بالحقّ و ارسله الی ارض اخری وعدا من عنده انّه هو الحاکم علی ما يريد * انّ ربّک يحفظ من يشاء لو يکون فی قطب البحر او فی فم الثّعبان او تحت سيوف الظّالمين

Translation

"Arise thou amongst men in the name of this all-compelling Cause, and summon, then, the nations unto God, the Mighty, the Great. Be thou not of them who called upon God by one of His names, but who, when He Who is the Object of all names appeared, denied Him and turned aside from Him, and, in the end, pronounced sentence against Him with manifest injustice. Consider and call thou to mind the days whereon the Spirit of God (Jesus Christ) appeared, and Herod gave judgment against Him. God, however, aided Him with the hosts of the unseen, and protected Him with truth, and sent Him down unto another land, according to His promise. He, verily, ordaineth what He pleaseth. Thy Lord truly preserveth whom He willeth, be he in the midst of the seas or in the maw of the serpent, or beneath the sword of the oppressor."
