| 1 | O you who believe! Let it be said: Shajarat Al-Hayah; |
| 2 | The Tree of Life, the Source, the Knowing; |
| 3 | And the thirty-sixth name of Allah, the One, the Absolute, the Almighty. |
| 4 | The ten plus one, being the one hundred and one in a way a mind may comprehend; |
| 5 | The most ancient mysteries and paths of the ancients; |
| 6 | The mystery between Allah and Wisdom, Understanding, Knowledge, Discipline, Gentleness, Beauty, Majesty, Timelessness, Disposition and Respect; |
| 7 | The three deaths by three and the three re-births; |
| 8 | The births to reason and existence of life; |
| 9 | The death to the corruption of flesh upon the vow of restraint; |
| 10 | The death to addiction of the flesh upon the vow of abstinence; |
| 11 | And the death to gluttony and greed of flesh upon the vow of poverty. |
| 12 | Thus rises the mystery of freedom and rebirth of purity of the body. |
| 13 | The death to the anger, hatred and negativity of mind, upon the vow of forgiveness; |
| 14 | The death to addiction of desires of mind upon the vow of obedience of the law; |
| 15 | And the death to fear, especially of death upon the vow of truth and honor. |
| 16 | The Tree of Life is the manifestation of Allah as the highest wisdom; |
| 17 | Only those who dedicate their life unto the Way will fully see. |
| 18 | The tree of life is rooted within all. |
| 19 | You are the tree and a branch of it. |
| 20 | Nothing is absolute. There is no end nor beginning to potential. |
| 21 | Existence, form, words, all limit, constrain, diminish, enclose; |
| 22 | Thus we are enclosed within the dream and existence of the universe; |
| 23 | The dream of the Divine Creator. |
| 24 | That our flesh is an illusion. |
