1 | O you who believe! Let it be said: Al-Mulk; |
2 | The One, the True, the Only Owner of All Things; |
3 | The first designer, the first creator, the first steward; |
4 | And the seventy-fourth name of Allah, the One, the Absolute, the Almighty. |
5 | Let it be said, no man may claim to be the absolute owner of his land, or house or cattle. |
6 | If a man so arrogantly claim to be the one, the true and only ultimate owner; |
7 | Arrest him and cast him into the deepest pit for his deepest insult against the Divine Owner of All. |
8 | Truly, the madness and ignorance of the Persian and merchants is revealed upon this very idea. |
9 | The Maniacs through their filthy writings claim to be their own idols; |
10 | They claim the Divine Creator has abandoned the earth; |
11 | And they submit to the demon called Sabbat. |
12 | If this be so, then even Sabbat whom is their name for Satan is not the owner. |
13 | We all be stewards and custodians of this life, the land and the animals. |
14 | Thus, when Uthman and the Umay-Yad seize and destroy cities, they own nothing. |
15 | They are a tool of Allah, despite their blasphemy. |
16 | It is why then a man must have witness to his right of custody of an animal or land. |
17 | His neighbours must be able to testify to the truth of his good conduct and fairness as well as possession; |
18 | A claim is nothing without good character and truth. |
