TURN
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful Why do you ‘fall’ upon your face? How long will you ‘hide your face’ from Me? — a demon ‘crouching’ there! Look up! The soil is ‘embittered to you’ — for you turned your face from Me, and by ‘My Word’ it shall be known! Take note of what you have done! How long shall My enemy be exalted over Me? To ‘this’ did Satan desire to reduce you — ‘sinners’ who do every wickedness, bowed down to the earth! Man, do you know Me? Is there a ‘hidden place’ in the world, where you are able ‘to place’ Me? Or is it the other way around? Who shall bring Me to the ground? The men who ‘were at peace’ with you, have deceived you, for they have ‘turned their back’ unto Me, and not their face! If I turn away ‘My face’ — then all things will be destroyed, from the lower heaven up to My Throne. Fear not, neither be dismayed, for I long ago broke your yoke to pieces, and I tore your bands apart. Get up, and ‘stand’ on your feet! ********** It is true, I am ‘above!’ But those who think differently from this, live in ‘perishable worlds’ and have ‘other beings’ for their rulers! Do you, yourself ‘choose that boon for Me’ which you deem ‘most beneficial’ for man? Arise now, and approach! Come hither, ‘rich in prayer above the ground’ and I will bless you. Lift ‘your eyes’ to the high places, and I will not cause My anger to ‘fall on you!’ Come up to ‘Me’ — My Goodness, My Fortress, and My High Tower. Give thanks to Me and ‘reject Me’ not! Return! Lift up your eyes to heaven, and fear not ‘the reproach of men!’ Who am I? I am He that comforts you, your Maker, Allah! And he that is ‘bowed down’ shall be speedily released! Rouse yourself, stand up, put on strength, and shake yourself from the dust. ‘Arise and be clean’ — that is what I deem ‘most beneficial for man!’
