Say, O people of the Earth, by God, this is the dove that reminds you of the best remembrance, so that you may be among the mindful. And it did not want anything from you, nor will it ask for any reward. All it asks is that you bear witness to the love of God, the Mighty, the All-Knowing.

Say, by God, those who do not seek for themselves what you have mentioned, by the truth, they are indeed in a manifest loss.

Say, indeed, those who flee from death for the sake of their Creator, they are in doubt about meeting God. They are the heedless, and they have not found the fragrances of holiness from this luminous shirt, and they have slept on the bed of negligence and turned away from what is best for them, from the dominion of the King of the Worlds.

Say, God shall fold up the Earth and all those upon it, and gather you in truth in a Holy and Secure place so that you bear witness to the secrets of the matter and gaze upon what has been decreed by God, the Most High, the Wise. And you say to yourselves, "Alas, we have been heedless of the remembrance of God, and we were clearly astray."

By God, if the veil were lifted from the faces of the servants and they could see what their hands have earned in those days, their souls would be severed from their bodies, and this is a certain truth.
