Be aware! it is beyond the perception of any being to appreciate our distinctively elevated position, strictly abstain from equating us to others, indeed we are the ‘hidden treasures of Allah -azwj ’ and have appeared among you in the ‘fabric and outfit’ of human beings. Though in the appearance of human flesh, we are the ‘Divine verses’ [3] of Allah -azwj , with this (in mind), you may, as per your knowledge and intellectual capacity, praise us unremittingly.

Certainly, infinite oceans cannot run dry, the ‘Divine treasures’ cannot be unfolded and ‘ Divine Verses’ cannot be fully praised. Certainly, I -as have been at the prominence of ‘Noor to Noor [4] ’ to the Prophet Ahmed saww even prior to the birth of human beings, before creation of their souls [5] . We both radiated as the ‘Noor’ [6] and were not in the form of any definable [7] shape but were pure Light [8] of Allah -azwj .

Surely, our ‘Amr [9] ’ is very difficult to understand, and is very intricate, no one can recognise our eminent attributes, except the following three; Angels [10] of a high stature, ‘Mursil Prophets -as [11] ’ and those believers (Momin) whose hearts have been specially tested by Allah -azwj for ‘ultimate faith’ [12] . Thus when you are made aware of our ‘attributes’ and our ‘Amr’ and are made clear to you, accept them, adhere to them and obey them.

Or plead to Allah -azwj with this knowledge about us a.s (for the ability to comprehend and appreciate), upon doing so you have reached all that, which is between the sky and the earth. By Allah -azwj , I have been (Divinely) nominated to govern this nation and I am, after the Prophet saww , the Divine master on them. And surely, my ‘Wiliat’ has been made compulsory on the creatures of skies, as it has been upon the habitants of the earth.

Indeed, angels regularly praise my qualities and Allah -azwj considers these as ‘Tasbeh’ (His -azwj worship).
