| 1 | O People! There is no other deity but Allah! |
| 2 | The Compassionate, the Beneficent, the Gracious; |
| 3 | All glory and honor be to Allah and no other! |
| 4 | Let the truth be now revealed concerning the great prophet Abraham; |
| 5 | May honor and peace be forever upon his name and his memory. |
| 6 | He is the first to honor the covenant of Allah to cease the practice of sacrifice of animals and children; |
| 7 | He is the bringer of Divine Law and Civilization to the lands. |
| 8 | Truly, if one honors the memory of Abraham and all his descendents, then honor the Covenant, the Law and the Way of Islam. |
| 9 | Reject the wicked practice of sacrificing animals. |
| 10 | Do no waste that which Allah has granted to you as food. |
| 11 | Reject the corruption of law. Honor the Way of Islam. |
| 12 | The sacred smoke of the altar of Al-Baqa was to replace the wicked ways of the ancients; |
| 13 | The sacred incense of the ancient lands of the Marab people. |
| 14 | Given by Allah unto Abraham was to end the ways of sacrifice of animals and children. |
| 15 | Allah is pleased by the sacred smoke as this respects his covenant with Abraham. |
| 16 | No greater injury can be done to Islam than to kill an innocent animal or another living being in the name of Allah. |
| 17 | Only the most ignorant and disrespectful to the Creator of all Things continue in the sacrifice of animals and children. |
| 18 | Thus, the Persians who hate Allah and who hate all of creation, do still practice the sacrifice of animals and young children. |
| 19 | They do for power and control, knowing not the true origin of such practice; |
| 20 | Nor the true name or nature of the demons to which they worship. |
| 21 | Do not therefore be tricked by the Persian upon the sacrifice of animals and honor the name of Abraham in respecting the sacred smoke. |
