O concourse of divines!  Be fair, I adjure you by God, and nullify not the Truth with the things ye possess.  Peruse that which We have sent down with truth.  It will, verily, aid you, and will draw you nigh unto God, the Mighty, the Great.  Consider and call to mind how when Muhammad, the Apostle of God, appeared, the people denied Him.  They ascribed unto Him what caused the Spirit (Jesus) to lament in His Most Sublime Station, and the Faithful Spirit to cry out.  Consider, moreover, the things which befell the Apostles and Messengers of God before Him, by reason of what the hands of the unjust have wrought.  We make mention of you for the sake of God, and remind you of His signs, and announce unto you the things ordained for such as are nigh unto Him in the most sublime Paradise and the all-highest Heaven, and I, verily, am the Announcer, the Omniscient.  He hath come for your salvation, and hath borne tribulations that ye may ascend, by the ladder of utterance, unto the summit of understanding....  Peruse, with fairness and justice, that which hath been sent down.  It will, verily, exalt you through the truth, and will cause you to behold the things from which ye have been withheld, and will enable you to quaff His sparkling Wine.

“Those divines ... who are truly adorned with the ornament...”

Those divines ... who are truly adorned with the ornament of knowledge and of a goodly character are, verily, as a head to the body of the world, and as eyes to the nations.  The guidance of men hath, at all times, been and is dependent upon these blessed souls.

“The divine whose conduct is upright, and the sage who...”

The divine whose conduct is upright, and the sage who is just, are as the spirit unto the body of the world.  Well is it with that divine whose head is attired with the crown of justice, and whose temple is adorned with the ornament of equity.

“The divine who hath seized and quaffed the most holy...”

The divine who hath seized and quaffed the most holy Wine, in the name of the sovereign Ordainer, is as an eye unto the world.  Well is it with them who obey him, and call him to remembrance.

“Great is the blessedness of that divine that hath not...”

Great is the blessedness of that divine that hath not allowed knowledge to become a veil between him and the One Who is the Object of all knowledge, and who, when the Self-Subsisting appeared, hath turned with a beaming face towards Him.  He, in truth, is numbered with the learned.  The inmates of Paradise seek the blessing of his breath, and his lamp sheddeth its radiance over all who are in heaven and on earth.  He, verily, is numbered with the inheritors of the Prophets.  He that beholdeth him hath, verily, beheld the True One, and he that turneth towards him hath, verily, turned towards God, the Almighty, the All-Wise.

“O concourse of divines!  Ye shall not henceforth behold...”
