iconSufa 142 - The Evidence (Al-Dalil)

1O you who believe! Let it be said: As-Samad;
2The Eternal, the Absolute, the Self-Sufficient;
3And the one-hundredth name of Allah, the One, the Absolute, the Almighty.
4What the eyes see, there can be no doubt;
5What the ears hear, let no one say otherwise;
6The proof is given, now let the unbeliever state their argument;
7By all law and logic, each word is measured and with purpose;
8Every phrase has reason and meaning;
9As these sufa (characteristics) are divine and if one should doubt it,
10Let them write such sufa greater than these, which they cannot.
11Therefore, evidence speaks for itself.
12Let not a man give false evidence,
13Nor permit a man to be condemned upon falsity.
14A man sworn before a jurist to speak the truth who instead speaks falsity is good for nothing.
15Take such a disgraceful man and upon proof of his perfidy,
16Execute him, so that no more shall he defile the law.
17The penalty for false evidence is death.
18This is the law.
