SURAT AL-PRA'RAJ


This is the sixth sermon of Salhin.

. . . . . . . . . .

٦٠ IA KA-LIM || IA GA-MIL
٦١ Praise be unto the First and the Last, || the Beginning and the End.

٦٢ My heart was full of pain, || for my eyes were full of images of the sins of my people.

٦٣ And so I went into the dunes, || and I turned my gaze to the sun.

٦٤ And the sun scoured all images from my eyes, || and all was clear.

٦٥ And the night came, || and all was dark but for the stars.

٦٦ And they spoke to me, saying: || "My name is IZDU, and I am your Tutor."

٦٧ And I opened the book of the sky, || and I read what was written therein.

٦٨ And what I learned therein, || I now teach unto you.

٦٩ For my soul became a mirror for IZDU, || and in this mirror you will see him.
