| 1 | O you who believe! Let it be said: Al-Batin; |
| 2 | The Hidden, the Unmanifest, the Inner; |
| 3 | And the sixth name of Allah, the One, the Absolute, the Almighty. |
| 4 | All that cannot be seen remains part of Allah; |
| 5 | Even all that cannot be named or fathomed; |
| 6 | Such is the vastness and incomprehensible supremacy of Allah. |
| 7 | An ignorant man sees value only in his words, not the space between them; |
| 8 | Yet it is the space between our speech that gives meaning to life. |
| 9 | Such is the unmanifest void. |
| 10 | Without the existence of the unmanifest, nothing may manifest; |
| 11 | Such is the paradox of the Divine. |
| 12 | Take away its name and nothing may be described; |
| 13 | Such is the mystery of the unmanifest. |
