Those who have been given sight by God see the stipulations (al-hudud, bounds) of God, (which are) the greatest cause for the setting of the world in order and the preserving of the nations. Whoever is careless is of the rabble (hamaj) and the ruffians (ra'a). We have commanded you to break the bounds of the self and passion (al- hawa); not that which was written (ruqima) by the most High Pen (al-qalam al- a'la). It is the spirit of Life (ruh al-hayawan) for whoever is in the (realm of the) possible (al-imkan). The seas of wisdom and explanation have raged (majat) with that whereby the breeze of the Merciful (al-rahman) was violent (hajat). Seize the opportunity, O posessors of minds (ula'l-albab)! Those who broke the covenant of God (manifest) in His commands and turned back from the path of justice are of the people of error (al-dalal) before the Exalted Self-Sufficient One (al-ghani al-muta'al).
