Sūrah of the Great Announcement (al-nabāʾ) from Ṣubḥ-i-Azal's Aḥmadīyah
In the Name of God the Most Tremendifying, the Invincibly Supreme!
Glory be to the One
to whom all within the Empyreans of the Command and creation prostrate, and all
are devoutly obedient to It! And It is the One Who differentiates all things in
Truth. Say: to It all are submitted! Say: Fear God, O concourse, then be among
the godfearing! Say: Fear God and believe in He whom God shall make Manifest
so perchance you may attain felicity! He is the One who shall appear, and there
is no repelling Him, yet most of the people are unaware! Say: Fear God then
bear witness to what He commands that perchance you may be shown mercy! That is
what We have enjoined upon you in the Book so that you may not commit injustice!
Say: nothing will frustrate Us from that which is in the dominion of all
things, and all shall be aided by Us! Say: Fear God then bear witness to the
right of God, and do not associate anything with It! If you will not believe in
the locus of the Manifestation of Its Command then do not grieve His Person! Say: Verily, We see that in
the moment of your supplication that He shall manifest, but you will not understand!
Say: If you disbelieve in He whom God shall make Manifest then you shall
become like the people who went before you—do you not then understand? Say: If
you disbelieve in what God shall reveal to Him then how shall a letter of faith
ever be mentioned in your regard? Will you not be godfearing? Say: If you do
not believe in Him then at least do Him no harm in any way, and then be among
the godfearing! Verily, this is the perfect counsel in the Book, a Revelation
from the Tremendous, the Self-Subsisting! It is the One in whose Hand is
whosoever is in the heavens and the earth and what is between them, and all are
prostrate before It! God testifies that, verily, there is no other god but It,
from before and after, and indeed all shall be gathered before Him! Say: If you
will not act upon what He whom God shall make Manifest commands then do
not strike Him and do not imprison Him, so that perchance you may enter into
the mercy of your Lord! Say: If He declares the forbidden to be lawful and the
lawful to be forbidden, that is what God, the Protector, the Peerless, has
decreed! Say: Fear God, then bear witness to what is sent down unto Him so
perchance you may attain to what God has intended! That is the rightful counsel
in the Book, wherein there is no doubt, a Command from the High, the Beloved
[i.e. the Primal Point]! He is the One from whom nothing shall be extinguished
from whatsoever is in the dominion of all things, and all shall return to Him! Say:
Indeed, He shall come, and there is no repelling Him, and He shall set right
the affair of All-Things [i.e. the Bayānīs] —will you not then
be godfearing? Say: Verily, His Manifestation is the Manifestation of God, but
most of the people do not comprehend! Say: If you succeed in Encountering Him
then that is the very attainment of the primal ones/preceders! Say: Fear God
and believe in what He has said that perchance you may understand! That is what
has been Revealed from the tongue of the locus of the Manifestation of His
Logos-Self—there is no other god except It, and all are submitted before It! Say:
Fear God then present yourselves before Our Proof so that perchance you may
hear! What has been Revealed from His tongue is as It wills—will you not understand?
Say: Verily, this is a Proof sufficient unto the denizens of the heavens and
the earth and what is between them—do you not then perceive? Say: Fear God then
believe in what has been sent down in the Book that perchance you may take heed
of the signs of your Lord! These are among what We have counseled you in the
Book, and indeed, this is a true counsel—will you not then act upon it?
