Perceive accordingly, then, that the Book is the soul of Muhammad in which all
the mysteries of the Pen of God, the Help in Peril, the Mighty, the Self-Subsisting,
hath been written. To the end that ye may attest that there is none other God but
Him, the King, the Help in Peril, the Well-Beloved. Thus hath it been revealed
aforetime, “Read the book of thine own self.” This is the Book which bringeth 11
solace to those who place their faith in God and reacheth unto the shore of the
Treasured Name. And in another station it referreth to the Book which hath been
sent down upon Him according to the divine Reality, and which God hath made to be
the criteria with which those who believe and those who reject the faith of their
Lord may be justly distinguished. And in yet another station know that God thereby
named His Beloved with these composite Letters and composed Words just as ye
pronounce in His various names like Muhammad, ‘Aḥmad, and Maḥmúd in the
Kingdom of Names. Thus was He named with the extended Letters and disconnected
Numerations, that all who hath been in acquaintance with Him aforetime may come
to know that every glorious Letter and beautiful Name hath been created for Him,
for no single thing shall ever be revealed from the Well Beloved except that He hath
truly had His Beloved in mind, this ye shall surely perceive should ye gaze with the
Vision of the Spirit. And so that the song which the Nightingale of Eternity hath
chanted may be established during the days when ye recite “To Him belong the Most
Beautiful Names.” This is that which hath been sent down aforetime and which ye 12
and the greater part of mankind recite during His days.
