So he found the nations to vary in their faiths...

So he found the nations to vary in their faiths; Obsessed by

their fires, worshipping their idols, and denying Allah despite their

knowledge of Him. Therefore, Allah illuminated their darkness with my

Father, Muhammad, uncovered obscurity from their hearts, and

cleared the clouds from their insights. He revealed guidance among

the people; So he delivered them from being led astray, led them away

from misguidance, guided them to the proper religion, and called them

Allah then chose to recall him back in mercy, love and preference. So,

Muhammad is in comfort from the burden of this world, he is

surrounded with devoted angels, the satisfaction of the Merciful Lord,

one, the chosen one from among His creatures, and His sincere friend,

and may peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.'

Fatima (A) then turned to the crowd and said:

'Surely you are Allah's slaves at His command Prohibition; You are the

bearers of His religion and revelation; You are Allah's trusted ones

brought unto you, and an heir He left to guard you; That is The

eloquent book of Allah; The truthful Quran; The brilliant light; The

shining beam; Its insights are indisputable; Its secrets are revealed; Its

indications are manifest; and its followers are blessed by it. (The

Quran) leads its adherents to goodwill; and Hearing it leads to

salvation; with it are the bright divine authorities achieved, His manifest

determination acquired, His prohibited decrees avoided; His manifest

evidence recognized; His satisfying proofs made apparent, His

purification for the soul and a (cause of) growth in subsistence. Fasting
