Surah of Sorrows (Suriy-i-Ahzán)

Bahá'u'lláh

This is the Surah of Sorrows, which was revealed by
the All-Merciful to the one who hath turned his face
toward the All-Praised at this time, when all have forsaken
the shadow of God and his compassion, and have taken
Satan unto themselves as a helper.

In the name of God, the Inaccessible, the most Holy, the most Mighty,
the All-Glorious.

You who swim in the realm of divine unity, plunge into the
ocean of grandeur that became manifest with My name, the most
glorious. Thereupon were launched the arks of eternal life, which
were boarded by those servants who detached themselves from the
world. They soared with the wings of holiness into the expanse of
these gales, which appeared in this heaven that was exalted in the
cloud of the unknowable essence. Thus did the grace of your Lord
encompass them, that they might give thanks to God and be of those
who were recorded in the tablets as among the grateful.

Ye should, in truth, say: "In the Name of God" and "By God,"
and then enter into the deluge of this ocean. For those near to God
have failed even to attain its shores, much less to plunge into it. Yet
the tongue of the beloved hath thus commanded you. Fear no one and
put your trust in Him, and He will safeguard you, as He protected
those who came before you. He is powerful over all things.

By God, the Eternal Truth! Today is your day. Emerge from
behind the veils of silence, and speak forth between the heavens and
the earth. Apprise the people of the glad-tidings of this
announcement, whereby the earth of haughtiness was split, the heavens
of resistance were cleft asunder, the mountains of malice were leveled,
and the edifice of rancor was razed--leaving the hosts of the blind
idolaters shuddering in terror. Gaze at those who joined partners with
God, and at what issued from their lips.

One among them asks, "Hath God become manifest, and hath
the sun risen from the horizon of sanctity?"

Say: Yes, by My lord, it hath risen by virtue of a sovereignty
that hath encompassed the worlds. As for you, O blind ones of the
earth, open your eyes that you might behold it dawning forth, radiant
and effulgent. It will, in truth, remain visible in the center of the
heavens with the power of grandeur, might and splendor, and can
never be eclipsed by the rejection of those who turn away, or the
idolatry of those who join partners with God. Thus was the truth of
the Cause apparent.

Another says, "That is the one who utters falsehoods
concerning God!"

Say: Woe unto thee, fickle worshipper of many gods! Is this
anything but an inspired revelation, which God taught Him at the
Lote-tree beyond which there is no passing, when He beheld the signs
of his lord? By God, his feet will never stumble on anything created
between the heavens and the earth. At one time He speaketh in the
tones of `Ali (the Bab) in the farthest realm, at another in the melodies
of Muhammad in the kingdom of creation, and at yet another after the
manner of the Spirit (Jesus) in the heavens of eternal life. Then He
speaketh with the accents of grandeur in this beauty that hath dawned
forth on all things. By virtue of his effulgence, the forms of all things
took on the shape of "There is no God but Him." Verily, He is the
beloved in the heart of the adored one, and He is the one who is
worshipped in all that was and shall be. But most of the people are
veiled from Him, even after He manifested himself with all the verses.
That which appeared with Him was a witness for Him.

Would that you were present at this moment before the throne,
and that you had heard how the melodies of immortality issue from the
human temple of Baha'. By God, the Eternal Truth, should the ears of
all contingent beings become purified, and should they hear even one
such song, they would, one and all, swoon dazed upon the earth in the
presence of your lord, the almighty, the Bestower. When, however,
they rose in opposition to God, He caused them to be deprived of the
wonders of His grace. Before your lord, at this time, they are no more
than handfuls of cast-out clay. If you will contemplate what issued
from their lips, by God, you will hear what was never heard from the
Jews when we sent Jesus with a perspicuous book. Such words were
not voiced by the community of the Gospel when we caused the sun of
everlasting life to dawn upon them from Mecca, sending Him to them
with clearly visible lights, nor by the people of the Qur'an when the
heavens of mystical insight were cleft and God came in the shadows of
His name, the All-Merciful, in the beauty of `Ali (the Bab) with the
truth.

Now that We have arrived at the mention of this blessed,
inaccessible, exalted and hallowed Name, which was wondrous in very
truth, two powerful emotions have invaded My breast. I behold My
heart ablaze with the flames of sorrow over what befell the Beauty of
the All-Merciful at the hands of the people of the Qur'an. It is as if My
entire frame is aflame at this moment with a fire that, if it had its way,
would consume all who are in this mortal realm. God is to this My
witness. Likewise, I see that my eyes are weeping--nay, all My
members, to the extent that teardrops are streaming from each hair of
My head, at the calamities rained down upon Him by the wicked, who
slew God and knew Him not. At a time when they were taking pride
in one of His names, they suspended Him in the air and riddled Him
with the bullets of their malice.

Would that the universe had never been created, the world
never brought into being, no Prophet sent nor any Messenger
dispatched, no Cause established among God's servants, no name of
God manifested between the heavens and the earth, no scriptures,
Books, Psalms, Tablets or Writings revealed--and that the Ancient
Beauty had never been afflicted among the sinful, nor suffered at the
hands of those who openly proclaimed their unbelief and perpetrated
what no one in all the worlds had ever perpetrated. By God, the
Eternal Truth! O `Ali, if thou gazest at all My limbs and members, at
My heart and My breast, thou wilt find the marks of the bullets that
struck the Temple of God! Alas, alas, thus hath the Revealer of verses
been prevented from sending them down, this Ocean been prevented
from surging, this Lote-tree from bearing fruit, this Sun from shining,
and these heavens from rising high. Thus hath the matter been
ordained at this time.

Would that I were as nothing, that My mother had never borne
Me, and that I had never heard what befell Him at the hands of those
who worshipped Names and slew their Revealer, Creator, Fashioner
and Sender. Woe be unto them, inasmuch as they followed the
prompting of their passions, and committed that which caused the
Maids of Heaven to swoon in their chambers. Then the Spirit's face
was soiled in the dust because of what those wolves wrought toward
the Lord of lords. Thus, all things weep at the tears I shed for Him,
and all lament at My wailing for My separation from Him. I have
reached the point in My bereavement where the hymns of everlasting
life will never be sung by My lips, nor will the spiritual breezes waft
from My heart, and were it not for the invulnerability of My soul My
mortal frame would have been cleft in two and I would have been
annihilated.

Behold, the Manifestation (the Bab) Who preceded Me doth
weep, and addresseth thee, saying, "O`Ali, by God, the Eternal Truth!
If thou wilt but look upon My heart and My breast, upon what is
concealed within Me and what is manifest, upon My internal state and
My outward condition, thou wilt discover scars from the darts of
rancor that struck My later Manifestation. By My Name, the All-
Glorious! Thus do I bewail, and all who are in the Concourse on High
mourn at My weeping for Him. I groan, and all who are in the
canopies of Names lament. I cry aloud, and the denizens of the cities
of eternity break into tears at My grief for this Wronged One, Who
hath fallen among the people of the Bayan. By God, they have done to
Him what the community of the Qur'an never perpetrated against Me.
Alas, alas for what hath befallen Him at their hands! Then did all
beings whether in the mortal realm or in the kingdom of heaven, fall
distraught upon the earth at what had overtaken that Beauty, Who was
seated upon the throne of nearness to God. Woe unto them and what
their hands wrought at morn and eve!"

Behold, the Ancient Beauty crieth: O Pen of the Most High,
change the subject of Thy discourse from this mournful theme that
hath saddened all contingent beings and everything that can be said to
exist. Make mention of aught else, and show mercy to the people of
the Concourse on High. By God, the Eternal Truth, the Throne in all
its grandeur hath well nigh collapsed, as hath the Seat in its
loftiness.

When We heard this call, We ceased our recounting of sorrows
and returned to Our previous theme, that thou mightest be informed
thereof. O `Ali, be not dejected at the misfortunes that rained down
upon Our former Manifestation, and then upon Our latter one, which
We have recited for thee. Gird up thy loins to aid the Cause of God,
and arise for this purpose with an invincible power and rectitude.
Look, then, upon the state of those persons, and what issueth from
their lips in these days, wherein the sun hath dawned forth with all its
rays and every trustworthy seeker hath been illumined thereby. By
God, thou hearest from them what no one hath ever heard from
anyone, for they seek to establish their cause by appealing to verses
which We Ourselves revealed to Him Whom We sent with the truth,
Whom We made a mercy to all who abide in this mortal realm. Yet
when verses greater than any they heard aforetime are recited for
them, they oppose them and flee away. If they find the power within
themselves, they then slay whoever relateth these verses to them.
Know well their station, that thou mightest gain insight into that which
is with them.

Say: O people, He in Whom ye have seen the power, dominion,
epiphany and grandeur of God, and in Whom lie wondrous might and strength
that ye have not discerned--He hath revealed from the heavens of His grace
the equivalent of all that was sent down in the Bayan. Fear God, O
people, and strive for piety in this Cause. Do ye idly dispute with Him,
by virtue of Whom the suns shone forth, the moons were illumined, the
stars were embellished, rivers flowed, oceans billowed forth, the sky was
raised aloft, the earth of holiness was spread out, and the trees brought
forth their fruit? Woe be unto you, and to him who commanded you to deny
God and to join partners with the Beauty of Him Who ascended the Throne
with a sovereignty that encompassed the worlds. By God, O thou who gazest
toward God! There hath befallen Me at their hands that which ears have
not heard, nor eyes witnessed. Behold, the eyes of all contingent beings
weep for Me, all the tribes in the kingdom of names and attributes lament
for the harm that hath overtaken Me, and tears flow from the eyes of
grandeur behind the veils of the All-Glorious, the Inaccessible.

When he who fleeth from foxes and hideth his face behind earthen
jugs in fear for himself perceived that We had raised aloft the Cause of
God with the authority of Power and Might, and that the Names of God had
become renowned in the East and the West, he then repented of having lain
in concealment. He emerged from behind the veil with a burning hatred and
consulted one among My servants about accomplishing My murder. He desired
to spill this blood, which, were but a droplet thereof to be sprinkled
upon the contingent beings, all of them would repeat, "Verily, I am God;
there is no God but He." Thus did he conspire within himself, after We
raised him and instructed him morning and evening. When the hosts of
God's revelation descended upon Us and safeguarded Us from his evil and
his plotting, he then arose to implement another scheme, such as perplexed
the inhabitants of the realm of names, and the Concourse on High. God
standeth witness to what I say. He attributed things to Me which,
shouldst thou but hear them from a man of insight, would amply inform thee
of what hath befallen this Wronged One at the hands of those who arose
against him with a tryanny, the magnitude of which all the Tablets attest.

O Pen of the Most High, make mention to Thy beloved of that which
one of Satan's party cried out in the land of Iraq, saying "O People of
Baha! Why do ye teach the Cause of God, your Lord, and call the people to
God, who created all things by His command? For the utmost rank the
servants can attain is that of Azal. Since he steppeth down from his
station and faileth to seize what he hath been given, how will your
teaching and recitation profit God's servants?" Thus did his carnal self
deceive him, and he spoke words that roused the fury and wrath of God
against him and against all those who speak as he doth, thus depriving
themselves of attaining to the shore of mystical insight.

Say: "Woe be to thee, thou joiner of partners with God, because
of what thou hast imagined in regard to the Name of Azal. Verily, We
created him, as We created all the names, that they might point to their
Creator and Fashioner, and persevere in the Cause of their Lord. For God,
all Names are equal. He giveth and taketh, and is not asked concerning
what He willeth. He knoweth all things with wisdom. Any excellence ye
may have discovered in any soul resideth in his faith in God, his
acceptance of His Manifestation, and his turning in that direction, which
was beloved from all eternity. Explain, O thou wretch, how it is that
Dayyan could become abased, if no one else could? O thou of the one eye,
consider thine own self. Dost thou perceive the faults of others while
remaining heedless of what is in thine own self? Woe unto thee, inasmuch
as thou hast been taught by Satan, who disbelieved in God, and whose
manifestation We have made an object lesson for all creatures."

Say: "O denier of God, would that thou hadst seen and known him
whom thou hast taken as a lord apart from God. By God, the Eternal Truth,
hadst thou set eyes on him and recognized him, thou wouldst have fled a
thousand miles or more away from him! God well knoweth this. Say: O
thou ignorant man! We preserved him and trained him up, praised him and
admonished him, to which thou art a witness. Yet he hath warred with Me
and rejected My verses. It behooveth thee, then, to oppose him, rather
than rising up against the One Who created thee and him from base water.
Ask him by what proof he believed in the Primal Point, and, before Him,
the Messenger of God, and by what proof he denied Him Who became manifest
with all the signs, and plotted His murder, and mightily shunned Him.

"Apart from all that, O thou idolater, it hath ever remained Our
wont to take and to give. Hast thou not seen the stone about which We
commanded Our servants to circumambulate, how We divested its form of the
robe of acceptance, and bestowed this grace upon another Spot? Would that
ye did but know it. Therefore, be fair in thyselfPthough We well know
that thou art never equitable, and with Us is a knowledge of the heavens
and the earth. We know what thy father taught thee night and day, what he
whispered in thy breast and the spirit he breathed into thee, whereby all
men are transformed into fools. Then ask from the one whom thou hast
taken as thy lord, apart from Me, saying: `O thou who hath turned away!
Be just within thyself. Hast thou heard of any Manifestation in the world
of creation greater than the OneWho hath become manifest and Who speaketh
at this moment from the center of eternity? He saith, `Verily, I am your
Lord, the Exalted, the Most High, upon this sanctified and glorious
horizon.

"Hast thou seen any words greater than these, revealed in truth
from the realm of immortality by this Youth, who giveth utterance in these
vast heavens? Nay, by My beauty that hath dawned forth upon and illumined
the worlds! Nevertheless, thou hast followed him who was created by the
motion of My Pen, and who conspired against My life after We safeguarded
him throughout the months and years. O thou who art sighted and yet
blind, in such wise that thou seest thyself but shalt never witness thy
Lord, by Whose command the names and their kingdom, the attributes and
their realm, and all created things were brought into being! Hast thou
ever looked into mirrors that turn away from the sun shining upon their
faces, that turn away from light, illumination and reflection? Nay, by My
Self, the All-Merciful, wert thou among the insightful! Likewise, gaze
into the mirrors of the names. It is incumbent upon them to enter into
the shadow of their Lord, to receive the effulgences that emanate from the
sun of immortality, and to become illumined with its lights and radiance.
Otherwise, they shall be deprived, and shall remain bereft of the radiance
that shone forth by virtue of the Eternal Truth.

"Didst thou not witness in My former manifestation, how the
divines who flourished in this world and mounted the stages of mystical
insight, worshipping God night and day, were declared idolaters and
unbelievers, and had the cloak of faith torn from about their shoulders?
Yet house-cleaners who were anonymous to all were invested by God with the
mantle of guardianship and prophecy. Therefore, behold the power of thy
Lord, and be not an overbearing wrongdoer. Did it behoove those on the
earth to raise objections against God, asking "If they who built up the
religion of God, who worshipped, prostrated themselves, and obeyed His
Command, becoming great scholars in the land, were consigned to hellfire,
then how shall we ever attain an exalted station?"

Say: "O thou who joinest partners with God! Thou speakest as the
idolaters spoke aforetime, in the dispensation of each Manifestation.
Thou wilt never realize what thou sayest. Rather, the angels of
retribution will be dispatched by the Almighty, the All-Powerful, to
smight thee upon thy mouth. Then know that at the time of the
Manifestation, all names subsist in a single region. Whoso ascendeth unto
God meriteth the attribution to him of all Our most beautiful names, and
whoso halteth upon the path shall never be mentioned in GodAs presence.
Thus have We revealed this matter in all the Tablets, wert thou but
informed thereof. Should We desire to take a handful of clay, to breathe
into it the spirit of life, and to render it a manifestation of all the
names and attributes, We would be able to do so, nor is this a difficult
matter for God. It would remain in this station as long as it clove to
the shadow of its Lord. The moment it departed therefrom, however, all
that was bestowed upon it would be withdrawn and it would be returned to
the dust in mighty affliction.

"O thou foolish man! Thou has failed to inform thyself of the
essence of the matter. Shouldst thou encounter that which thou graspest
not, ask Him from Whose Pen flow the oceans of knowledge and meaning, that
He might elucidate for thee the wonders of knowledge of which thou wert
heedless, that thou mightest persevere in the Cause of thy Lord."

Nay, by My Life, O `Ali! They had no desire to discover what was
veiled from them. Verily, thou seest them ambling along like sheep who
know not their shepherd. Or rather, if thou discernest them with the eye
of thine innate nature, thou wilt find that they are wolves who wish to
scatter GodAs flocks and to lap up their blood. Thus have We reckoned
their cause in this Tablet, which hath descended from the exalted realm of
glory. Thou shouldst protect thyself from them, then speak forth with the
melodies of everlasting life between the earth and the heavens. Make
mention of this Most Great Name, whereby the heaven of names was cloven in
two. Fear no one and put thy trust in God, and He shall preserve thee
from every cast-out idolater. He will confirm thee in His Cause, the
spirit will speak in thy breast, and the gales of paradise blowing from
the abode of they Lord, the All-Merciful, will cause thee to tremble. He
doth, verily, call thee to account. Beware not to grow despondent over any
matter. For We have not forgotten thee, and yearn to see thee. We
beseech God to bring us together in truth. Verily, He answereth those who
call upon Him.

Would that thou wert with Us in prison, and that thou didst know
what hath befallen this Wronged Beauty at the hands of those who shall
never be able to speak a word in My presence, whose very essences were
brought into being by the will of My Pen. Thus woulds thou witness what
is now concealed from thee. Hearken to that which the Pen of the Most
High enjoineth upon thee, and sit not in thy home, nor rest within
thyself. Enter into the abode of the idolaters among the people of the
Bayan with the Announcement of God and His Cause. Say: O people, I have
come unto you in truth with a mighty proof. If ye possess a greater one,
produce it, and if ye have witnessed with your own eyes anything more
awesome than the power and sovereignty of God that we have beheld, set it
forth without a momentAs delay. If, however, ye perceive yourselves to be
incapable of meeting this challenge, then fear God and refrain from idly
disputing with Him through Whom the Cause of God was raised aloft, your
names were exalted, and that Proof appeared to which ye yourselves appeal
in vindicating the truth of your cause. Fear God, and be not sinful
unbelievers in this mortal realm.

O thou who swimmest in the sea of meaning, at this time the ocean
of grandeur hath billowed forth in My name, the All-Glorious, and casteth
up for all contingent beings the pearls of the mention of thy Lord, the
Exalted, the Most High. By God, the eye of creation hath never seen their
like, nor hath the vision of GodAs handiwork witnessed their peer. Would
that We could find a trustworthy soul into whose keeping We could give
them, or a man of keen sight, to whom We could show them, or an expert to
whom We could describe how they sparkle and gleam with effulgences.
Behold, when We ascended into the heaven of the divine decree, We saw no
one, and we remained perplexed and sorely grieved within ourselves. Be
thou joyous at the droplets of this sea that have been sprinkled upon
thee. For thereby wast thou purified from the odors of those in whose
faces thou wilt discern naught but the soot of hellfire, who disbelieved
in God in every age and time, and who were deprived of the breezes of the
All-Merciful.

Say: These rivers run to the sea of pre-existence, just as they
branched out from it. Blessed is he who hath quaffed from them and
thereby been enabled to dispense with all who dwell upon the earth.
Verily, the sea of pre-existence along with what issueth from it and what
mergeth with it, is but one wave of the Ocean of Grandeur, which was
created by My Name, the Most Glorious. Thus do We reveal to thee one of
the mysteries that were hidden from the eyes of the worlds. Upon the
shore of this sea a wilderness was brought into being such as no one hath
traversed from beginning to end. Therein the call of God was raised up
from every side, and no Prophets of Messengers passed by save that the
gentle fragrances of God captivated Them in this valley. When They
subsequently attained to the Dome of the Most Glorious, which was
fashioned from the light of the Divine Essence in the center of that
valley, They fell dazed upon their faces in the earth. They thus
submitted themselves to the authority of that Beauty, Who became manifest
with the truth in this mantle. Therein, the sincere ones perceive the
perfume of the All-Merciful. Thus was the matter decreed.

O `Ali, by God, the call of God, thy Lord, the Exalted, the Most
High, hath never ceased and shall never cease in that wilderness. At all
times there is heard from its gardens and its hills the saying, "There is
no God but Him; and He Who became Manifest in My Name, the All-Glorious,
is the Beloved of all the creation and the Adored One of the Concourse of
Eternity. He hath ever been and ever shall be, and of this is God well
aware." Blessed, then, is the man who walketh therein, and the ear that
heareth the melodies that emanate from every side, perceiving the
mysteries that repose therein. For these remain veiled behind the
pavilions of splendor. Would that there were a lover who might turn his
face in its direction, an upright person who might persevere therein, or
one possessed of a heart who might make haste and detach himself from all
the worlds.

O `Ali, by God, this Cause is great beyond mention; it is too
manifest to remain concealed, and too exalted to be affected by being
shunned by those who turn away, or the plotting of any obdurate schemer.
Say: O people, disgrace not yourselves, and feel shame before God, Who
desireth only to bestow His grace upon you. He hath, at all times, sent
down upon you from the Lote-tree of holiness ripe and glorious fruits.
Eat of GodAs bounty as ye will. Fear God, wreak not corruption in the
land, and be not remote from the seats of nearness unto God. By God, the
nightingale shall never be prevented from warbling his melodies, neither
by the panting of all the dogs upon the earth nor by the howling of all
the wolves. Thus did we send down the verses in turth, as a revelation
from the Mighty, the All-Wise. Whoso, in this day, denieth this Cause
shall bring upon himself the malediction of every atom, even that of his
own soul, essence, hand and tongue. He is deaf within himself, and shall
never hear, inasmuch as the veils of heedlessness have covered his ears.
Thus doth the matter appear at this time from the horizon of the divine
decree.

Happy are ye, insofar as ye shall never find for yourselves anyone
to share in these fruits that came forth from the Lote-Tree of thy Lord,
the Exalted, the Most High. God hath singled you out for them, as He has
all those who turn toward them with pure and sincere hearts. Taste thou
of these fruits, be grateful for the wonders of they LordAs grace that
have been bestowed upon thee, and let thy joy be manifest. God hath
reserved them for those of His servants who are nigh unto Him, and hath
caused those who join partners with Him to be deprived thereof. We have
caused the gentle gales of the All-Merciful to blow upon thy breast,
spirit and heart from the right hand of the All-Praised. Thus mightest
thou live by virtue of His life, endure forever in His immortality, speak
forth His praise, make ention of His Name, turn toward His countenance,
and gaze upon His beauty. Verily, His grace to thee hath ever continued
to be great, wondrous, invincible and sublime.

Grandeur, majesty and glory be upon thee from the Visage of
everlasting life that hath appeared in His Name, the most Glorious.
Thereby hath every object been exalted, everyone of high rank brought low,
every existent annihilated, and every lost one endowed with life. Through
this Countenance, every sun was darkened and every moon eclipsed, every
star fell, everyone endued with certainty was disturbed, every exalted one
vanished, every steadfast believer was shaken, everyone at rest was set in
motion, every fire was extinguished, and all ashes burst into flame!
Every praised one became reprehensible and every evil one became
praiseworthy. Thus, all that was concealed became manifest, all that had
been secluded was unveiled, all curtains were rent, all embers were
reborn, every door was knocked at, every crown spoke and every proof was
endowed with grandeur. Owing to that blessed Face, every patient was
cured, every ill one was purified, every sickly one found his remedy,
every blind one saw, every treasure was uncovered, every earth quaked, and
every heaven was cleft. In this wise, every upright man was corrupted and
every villain became just, every scholar was made a fool, and every
ignorant became learned. Every person of courage fled and every coward
discovered his valor, and every parched one quenched his thirst. Then
every trumpet was sounded, every Hour struck, every horn blasted, every
ray of light was replaced by gloom, and every fruit fell to the earth.
All fertile land grew dry and all dry land turned green. The breeze of
God wafted, whereby all contingent things were given life aforetime, and
whereby all beings shall be revived afterwards. Thus hath the grace of
God encompassed thy soul, they spirit, thy physical body, and thine
ethereal body.
