| 1 | فانظروا في النّاس وقلّة عقولهم يطلبون ما يضرّهم ويتركون ما ينفعهم أَلَا إنّهم من الهآئمين إنّا نرى بعض النّاس أرادوا الحرّيّة ويفتخرون بها أولئك في جهل مبين إنّ الحرّيّة تنتهي عواقبها إلى الفتنة الّتي لا تخمد نارها كذلك يخبركم المحصي العليم فاعلموا أنّ مطالع الحرّيّة ومظاهرها هي الحيوان وللإنسان ينبغي أن يكون تحت سنن تحفظه عن جهل نفسه وضرّ الماكرين إنّ الحرّيّة تُخرج الإنسان عن شئون الأدب والوقار وتجعله من الأرذلين (edit)

– CLIX – Consider the pettiness of men’s minds. They ask for that which injureth them, and cast away the thing that profiteth them. They are, indeed, of those that are far astray. We find some men desiring liberty, and priding themselves therein. Such men are in the depths of ignorance. Liberty must, in the end, lead to sedition, whose flames none can quench. Thus warneth you He Who is the Reckoner, the All-Knowing. Know ye that the embodiment of liberty and its symbol is the animal. That which beseemeth man is submission unto such restraints as will protect him from his own ignorance, and guard him against the harm of the mischief-maker. Liberty causeth man to overstep the bounds of propriety, and to infringe on the dignity of his station. It debaseth him to the level of extreme depravity and wickedness. (edit) | So look upon the people and the scantiness of their minds: they seek what harms them and leave what benefits them. Indeed, they are among the bewildered. We see that some people desire freedom and boast of it; those are in manifest ignorance. Indeed, freedom ends in consequences that lead to strife whose fire is not extinguished. Thus informs you the All-Enumerating, the All-Knowing. So know that the beginnings of freedom and its outward forms are those of beasts, and for the human being it is fitting to be under laws that preserve him from the ignorance of his own self and from the harm of the schemers. Indeed, freedom brings a person out of the affairs of propriety and dignity and makes him among the most vile. (edit) |
| 2 | فانظروا الخلق كالأغنام لا بدّ لها من راع ليحفظها إنّ هذا لحقّ يقين إنّا نصدّقها في بعض المقامات دون الآخر إنّا كنّا عالمين قل الحرّيّة في اتّباع أوامري لو أنتم من العارفين لو اتّبع النّاس ما نزّلناه لهم من سمآء الوحي ليجدنّ أنفسهم في حرّيّة بحتة طوبى لمن عرف مراد الله فيما نزّل من سمآء مشيّته المهيمنة على العالمين قل الحرّيّة الّتي تنفعكم إنّها في العبوديّة لله الحقّ والّذي وجد حلاوتها لا يبدّلها بملكوت ملك السّموات والأرضين (edit)

Regard men as a flock of sheep that need a shepherd for their protection. This, verily, is the truth, the certain truth. We approve of liberty in certain circumstances, and refuse to sanction it in others. We, verily, are the All-Knowing. Say: True liberty consisteth in man’s submission unto My commandments, little as ye know it. Were men to observe that which We have sent down unto them from the Heaven of Revelation, they would, of a certainty, attain unto perfect liberty. Happy is the man that hath apprehended the Purpose of God in whatever He hath revealed from the Heaven of His Will, that pervadeth all created things. Say: The liberty that profiteth you is to be found nowhere except in complete servitude unto God, the Eternal Truth. Whoso hath tasted of its sweetness will refuse to barter it for all the dominion of earth and heaven. (edit) | So look upon creation as sheep that must have a shepherd to protect them. This is the truth, a certainty. We affirm it in some stations and not in others. Indeed, We have been knowing. Say: freedom lies in following My commands, if you are of those who know. If people were to follow what We have sent down to them from the heaven of revelation, they would surely find themselves in pure freedom. Blessed is he who has known God’s intent in what has been sent down from the heaven of His will that dominates the worlds. Say: the freedom that benefits you is in servitude to God, the True One; and whoever has found its sweetness will not exchange it for the kingdom of the dominion of the heavens and the earths.
