iconSufa 69 - Babylon (Babel)

1O People! There is no other deity but Allah!
2The Compassionate, the Beneficent, the Gracious;
3All prayers and homage be to Allah and no other!
4Let the truth be now revealed concerning the most ancient city of Babel;
5Upon the great peril and conflict against the Marab people,
6It was Sargon who led an army out of the wilderness of Arabia to defeat first the forces of separate cities of the Sumerians.
7The great city of Eridu was captured and the land of the Mesopotamia and Tigris were conquered.
8The court of Eridu settled upon a new city they called Mari.
9Upon the death of Sargon they attacked the south.
10Babel was formed as their new capital.
11Yet these men of Babel with all their wisdom, refused to honor the one Creator.
12Instead, they regarded themselves as above all men, as the priests of all priests.
13In their hubris and arrogance, they became the architects of religion.
14They formed the stories and texts which found their way to all quarters of the world of history.
15When the lands were in ruin, the priests of Babel seized control and formed the religion of Mithra.
16Then again, under the terrible reign of the Aryan princes, Babylon formed the religion of Manes.
17Thus, the poison of the world beings from Babel.
18The falsity of the world begins from Babel.
19The confusion and curse of the world begins from Babel.
20Though its walls have been taken and its scribes silenced,
21Babel still calls to corrupt and destroy through the alliance Uthman and the scholars of the Manes.
22Believe nothing which has come from this terrible city.
23For it is seeded in hatred of the Divine and arrogant priests,
24Who see themselves as gods amongst men.
