1-Kâf, Hâ, Yâ, Ayn, Sâd.
2-Zechariah was among those who understood the One who created him, and His Mercy in all beings,that he was His servant.
3-He called out to his Lord in a search.
4-He said: My Lord! My bones have become weak and I have become old, my hair has turned gray,my Lord! I have turned to You alone, and I have not fallen into duality.
5-I feared that there would be no wise man after me, and I have become ineffective in my work, sogrant me a friend who is upon Your truths.
6-May he inherit me and the family of Jacob, and make him one of those who seek the pleasure of hisLord.
7-O Zechariah! We give you good news of a son. His name is Jonah. We have not named anyone byhis name before.
8-He said: O my Lord! Can I have a son when I have become ineffective in my work and have becomeold?
9-It is easy for your Lord, the Almighty, with His will. I created you when you were nothing before.Thus We have informed you.
10-He said: O my Lord! Bestow me a sign. We have informed you: You are a sign with your entirebeing. Do not speak to people until you are freed from the darkness of ignorance and understand thetruths in three stages, then speak in an understandable and level-headed manner.
11-Thus, he appeared to his people to tell them about the Supreme Owner of all the earth. Then, hetold them to perceive the actions, attributes and manifestations of His Essence, morning and evening.
12-O Jonah! We informed him that he held on tightly to understand the truths in the book of existence.He understood the commands We presented with all their purity.
13-He understood the love that belongs to Us, and purification with insight, and avoiding evil and notassociating partners.
14-He was among the righteous towards his family and was not a tyrant or rebellious.
15-He spent his time in a pure state, in peace and tranquility until his death, and he understood thateverything that happens at every moment comes from the Ever-Living One.
16-And remember Virgin Mary with divine words, when she left her family and went to a place in the East.
17-Then he clung to that form which holds all forms. Thus, she understood that We breathed into itfrom our spirit. Thus, she understood that He is the One who holds all humanity together in unity, whotakes on shape and form.
18-Virgin Mary said to the one who came: I seek refuge from You in the One who covers all placeswith His light. If you are a person who guards against evil, then so be it.
19-The one who came said: I am only a person who shows the truths of your Lord. I am here to giveyou good news of a pure son.
20-She said: Will there be birth in me? I have not touched a human secret and I will continue to guardmy chastity.
21-Your Lord has made it known: My glory is what you find peace in. In what you are presented aresigns for people, and Our mercy, and the decree of the functioning. Thus, it has been made known.
22-So, she carried it, and with it she was taken to a distant place.
23-So she leaned on the palm tree in the pain of childbirth. She said: If only I had died before this, orforgotten, or been forgotten.
24-So she heard the call in her place: Do not be sad, your Lord has bestowed upon you in His placebeauties.
25-And He has bestowed upon you the maturity of submission with all your being, the pleasure ofunity.
26-So take advantage of what has been bestowed upon you and enjoy it spiritually, and let it be thelight of your eyes. Then when you meet a person, say: I have promised to be protected by the OneWho has encompassed all beings with His light, and that I will never speak to people for a certainperiod.
27-So, she came to her people with what she carried. They said: O Mary! You have done a marvelousthing.
28-O sister of Aaron! Your father did no wrong, nor did your mother transgress.
29-So he pointed to her. They said: How can we talk to someone who has just found guidance?
30-She said: I am a servant of Allah, the divine words presented to me, and I am someone whoinforms about the truths.
31-He offered me the sacred wherever I was. He advised me to remain attached to Him and to be pureat all times as long as I lived.
32-He advised me to always be good to my mother and not to tyrannize with anyone and not to fallinto duality.
33-He advised me to be in peace and tranquility from the day I was born until I died and to alwaysunderstand the Ever-Living.
34-These are the true words of Jesus, son of Mary. About whom they doubt.
35-Allah does not beget a child. Glory be to Him. He only says, “Be,” and it is.
36-Surely, Allah created me and created you. So, realize that you are His servants. So, be on thisstraight path.
37-Then they became divided among themselves in groups. Woe to those who ignore and cover up thetruths while witnessing the great Owner of time.
38-What have they heard and seen in the way of understanding us? But the wrongdoers spend theirtime in clear heresy.
39-Warn those who are heedless and do not believe in the truths, so that they may always seek thetruths with longing, so that they may understand the decree of the functioning of all existence.
40-Surely, whatever is on earth belongs to Us, and We are the Everlasting, and to Us all things will bereturned.
41-And remember Abraham with divine words. Indeed, he informed you of the truths in the true way.
42-He said to his father: O my father! Why do you serve that which cannot hear, cannot see, and is ofno benefit to you?
43-O my father! Indeed, I have acquired knowledge that you do not know. Follow me, then, and I willshow you the path of the unity, the path of Truth.
44-O my father! Do not be a servant of Satanic states. Satanic states will surely cause you to bedivided against the One who encompasses all places with His light.
45-O my father! I am afraid that you will be in trouble because you do not understand the One whoselight pervades everywhere. I am afraid that you will become friends with satanic ways.
46-He said: O Abraham! You do not show interest in what I worship. If you do not give up theseways, I will surely drive you away and you will be far from me.
47-Ibrahim said: Peace be with you. I hope that you would understand the forgiveness of Him whocreated you. Indeed, He is the One who bestowed upon you all attributes.
48-I will stay away from you and from that which you turn to, based on conjecture, instead of Allah.And I will turn to my Lord. I hope that I would not be divided in my turning to my Lord.
49-So, he stayed away from them and from that which they worship, based on conjecture, instead ofAllah. We gave him Isaac and Jacob. All of them were of those who informed us of the truths Wepresented.
50-They were upon Our mercy, and they spoke the truths We presented with honor and truth.
51-And remember Moses with the divine words. Surely, he was one of those who were connected withHis whole essence and he was one who informed about the truths and showed the truths.
52-He understood that We were calling from every side and from his body equipped with attributes,that We are the One who is alive in every being, and he was one of those who understood thecloseness to Us and found salvation.
53-And he was upon Our mercy, and his brother Aaron was among those who informed the truth.
54-And mention Ishmael with divine words. Surely, he was of those who were truthful in his word,and of those who informed the truth.
55-He advised his kinsmen to be devoted to the Truth in all things and to be pure with insight. He wasof those who sought the pleasure of his Lord.
56-And mention Idris with divine words. Surely, he was also a truthful informer.
57-He was of those who understood Us and advanced in the high places.
58-They are those who knew the attributes of Allah, and of those who informed the truth. He was ofthose who were from the descendants of Adam and of those who carried Our truths with Noah. He wasfrom the lineage of Abraham and Jacob, and he was of those who showed Us Our way and of thosewho perceived Us, who understood the signs of the One who pervades all places with His light, andwho passed away from His own existence and submitted to the eternal.
59-But those who came after them could not maintain their loyalty and followed the desires of theirown egos, so they acted foolishly and became of those who lost the right path.
60-But whoever realizes his mistakes, promises not to do them again, and has faith, and is amongthose who work on the right path, then they will find peace and will never be wrongdoers.
61-They are those who keep their promise, and are in the presence of submission to the Owner of allmanifestations. They know the Owner of the unseen, unknown world, they know that they are theservants of the One who encompasses all places with his light, and they know that all existence isrevealed from Him.
62-Those who are in that presence do not hear vain talk. They are only in peace and tranquility. Theytry to benefit from the truths morning and evening.
63-Those who understand that everything belongs to Us, who avoid evil and do not associate partnerswith Us, and who understand that they are Our servants, will attain that peace.
64-In what is before us and what is behind us and in everything between them is the functioning of ourLord, and we will not depart from this truth, and there is no abandonment of the Lord, they say.
65-He is the One who created everything in the heavens and the earth and everything in them. So,realize that you are His servants and be steadfast in your worship of Him. Do you know any otherpower like Him?
66-Man says: Will I be resurrected when I die?
67-Does not man think and understand how We created him when he was nothing before?
68-Thus, those who understand the One who created him will surely understand that We are the Onewho keeps all existence alive. Those who remain in satanic states remain in the hell of ignorance, in astate of ignorance,
69-Surely, all those who are divided into sects remain in the state of not understanding Us. Whicheverof them you look at, they are all more arrogant than the one who encompasses all creation with Hismercy.
70-Surely, We are the Owner of wisdom. Whoever of them is near to whatever state he is in, he isthere.
71-Whoever among you is in that state, he will act in that state. Your Lord is the absolute Owner ofthe rules in existence.
72-Those who avoid evil and do not associate partners will find salvation in Us, while the wrongdoerswill remain in ignorance, without understanding.
73-When Our proofs are made clear to them, those who disbelieve will say to those who believe:Which of the two groups is the better station and the better place to stay?
74-And many of the generations before them were destroyed because, they could not understand Us,because, they were ostentatious and arrogant.
75-Narrate: Even if a person is in error, he still had a long respite to understand the One whoencompasses all places with His light. And you will see them that they do not fulfill their promiseseven during the respite given to them, and they spend their time in that state. Perhaps in the future,those people will realize that they are in a bad situation where they are and that they are ignorant inrecognizing existence.
76-Those who are on the path of truth, who guide the truth and who do righteous deeds in a constantstate of goodness; their love, devotion and comprehension towards Allah increase. They alwaysstruggle for the realities belonging to Him who created them in righteous, beautiful and beneficialways.
77-Have you seen those who ignore Our signs? They say, “We will certainly be given wealth andoffspring.”
78-Have they attained the realities of the unseen, unknown world? Or have they taken a wordbelonging to Him who encompasses all places with His light?
79-We write down in their book of existence what they say, at every moment. Their troubles will notend as long as they do not know Us.
80-We make them inheritors of what they say. We present each person to himself.
81-Those who take deities based on conjecture instead of Allah, think that they are more honorableand superior.
82-On the contrary, the things that those who ignore the truth worship are their enemies.
83-Have you not seen how We have presented the truths to those in satanic states? The satanic statesof those who ignore the truths lead them to oppression, transgression and duality.
84-After this, do not rush against those in those states. They only adopt their own customs.
85-Those who abstain from evil and do not associate partners, know that We hold all of existencetogether at all times. They are respectful of Our mercy in all of existence.
86-Those who remain in evils, run from place to place in their destructive states.
87-No one can find intercession except the one who holds fast to the truths of the Most Merciful, norcan he understand Tawhid.
88-They said, The Most Merciful has begotten a child.
89-What you say is a lie.
90-Do you not see how the heavens came into being and how what is on the earth was made manifestand how the mountains that extend far were formed?
91-Does the One whose Light has encompassed everywhere have children?
92-Is it appropriate to say that the One who has encompassed everywhere has had children?
93-Whatever is in the heavens and the earth is the servant of the One who encompasses all existencewith His light.
94-Those who say it are surely astray and they are the ones who follow their own customs.
95-And all of them will reach the time of death as individuals.
96-Surely, those who believe and work on the right path act in the love of the One who encompassesall existence with His light.
97-We have made your tongue easy for you to give good news to those who fear evil and do notassociate others with Him, and you are a warner to those who attribute existence to themselves.
98-And many generations before them were destroyed because, they could not understand Us. Youcannot hear anything good about the truth of the unity that has been conveyed from them, and all thatremains from them is a whisper and a gossip.
