Editing Madinatut-Tawhid/English1

Know then, understand that monotheism has ranks, worlds and levels that no one knows, and none can enumerate except Allah the Powerful, the Mighty, the Beautiful. Indeed, if I wanted to elaborate on this status, which Allah has taught me by His grace, neither tablets nor oceans would suffice if they were to be made ink for these sacred, sublime, mighty and noble words. For Allah's bounty is inexhaustible, and there is no hindrance to His command. He is the one who detailed from the primordial point the knowledge of what was and what will be, if you are among the knowledgeable. He will detail in the pattern of this point sciences that no ear has ever heard, and no one will ever know them among the worlds. Say, if He wanted to fold up all the sciences and detail them in the dominion from the beginning which has no beginning, He could do so, and it would be closer than the blink of an eye. There is no god but He, the Sovereign, the Capable, the Powerful.

He is the one in whose grasp is the kingdom of the heavens and the earth. He erases what He pleases by His command, and establishes what He wills by His power. With Him is a sanctified, preserving tablet. Say, He is the one who has always been, holy beyond all that you know, and He comes in every matter with a marvelous knowledge. Say, the essence of monotheism and definition are equal in His limit, but most people are lying down on the bed of ignorance. Say, if He were to erase the verses of monotheism and rule with definition, this would be a clear truth, and no one has the right to ask why and how, for the matter is what appears from Him, and the rule is what is decreed by Him. He is the Strong, the Capable.
