[4] هوالله Huwa Allah ("He is God!") Who, no God is there except Him. He indeed caused me to reveal [utter the words], `I am indeed God, the True One (ana Allah al-haqq)! No God is there except Him'. So should ye serve Him! Wherefore should ye select the one who is indeed [representative of] the Greatest Dhikr [messianic Remembrance] (li'l-dhikr al-akbar). [5] For I am indeed one before [representative of] God and we do indeed return unto Him! This according to the Greatest Truth (al-haqq al-akbar) which is written in the Book of God!
[6]
O ye people of the East (ahl al-mashriq)!
Follow ye Our servant [ the Bab]! for God hath indeed sent down unto thee a light (nuran) and, in very truth, a luminous Book (kitab an `ala al-haqq muniran).
[7]
O ye people of the West (ahl al-maghrib)!
Emerge ye from your terrortries for the victory of God (nusrat Allah) ere the Day shall dawn upon thee when the All-Merciful (al-rahman) [God] shall come down unto thee in the "shadows of the clouds" (zull al-ghamam), with the angels (mala'ikat) round about Him magnifying God [Q. 2:210] and beseeching His forgiveness for such as hath, in very truth, believed in Our signs [verses] (ayat). He hath indeed decreed this matter [Cause] (al-amr) for such a regulation (al-hukm) hath indeed been stipulated in the Mother Book (umm al-kitab) [cf. SWB: 56] [8] Yet never did such persons discover that Day (al-yawm)! [9] We did indeed, in very Truth, observe [them to be] in some respects in a state of rejection [ruination] (muradd an). [10] In that circumstance [locale] they shall never determine the Truth (al-haqq) refusing it and likewise in a state of self-contentment (sukun an), [blindingly accepting] what is other than the Truth. [11] So assuredly have others, whomsoever hath been determined by God in the Pre-Existent (qadim an) Mother Book (umm al-kitab), inherited the Dominion (al-mulk). [12] Then fear ye then the [righteous] servants of God and be ye then numbered among the first of the believers (awwal al-mu'minin) in Our Praiseworthy (hamid an), Mighty (`aziz an) servant [the Bab] and His Book (kitab)! [13] All of this He hath indeed preserved for this thy [eschatogical] "Day" to the end that thou be well-aware (khabir) of God and His verses as communicated by this Bab. [14] And We indeed, with the permission of God, had named him [the Bab] in the Archetypal-Mother Book (umm al-kitab) the "Purified" (safiyyan), "Sweet" ( فُرَاتٗا = furat an) [Q. 77:27b; cosmic] "Water" (ma')!
