Therefore, precious jeweled lights of my eyes, Allah alone has laid the most exalted of all paths before us. His quality is the one path. His actions, conduct, and good behavior are the one path. His trust, His justice, His three thousand benevolences with which He shows compassion, and His attributes that make each heart become aware—these are the one path. This is the one path which cautions us and makes us aware of our mistakes. That is the path of truth which leads us on the straight way, the path that connects us with Him.

Realize this, precious jeweled lights of my eyes. Escape from this time of destruction. Move away form the fires that are yet to come. The warnings of the destruction are appearing in the world now. The fires are spreading; they are surrounding us and approaching us. May we escape from them.

If we always trust in His protection, He will lift us up to Him. Precious jeweled lights of my eyes, He will protect us and keep us with Him. He will put out any kind of fire. Just as God protected Abraham (A.S.) from the fire into which Nimrod put him, He will protect us from these fires. Just as God protected Joseph (A.S.) from the well into which he was pushed, God will lift us from this well of illusion and protect us.

Have firm certitude of faith (iman) in this. Accept that there is none worthy of worship other than God, Allah. We must accept that there is none other than Allah who treats all lives equally. When praising Him people have given Him millions and millions of names. Yet He remains with that name, Allah. Above all the names of praise, He rules with the name, Allahu, which is a name of completeness and plenitude. He has ninety-nine names corresponding to His attributes, actions, and conduct, but He has kept this one name within Himself.

Creation, protection, sustenance, giving food, passing judgment, and making the final inquiry—all these attributes and actions are combined into the one name, Allah, which is kept within Him. This is the treasure in each one’s heart that never diminishes no matter how much is taken from it. It exists as the perfect completeness. This is that one name, Allah. The ninety-nine names of the Asma’ul-husna are His qualities, actions, conduct, and the duties that He performs. These are the attributes and actions that make each heart melt. But this one name, Allah, denotes His judgment and justice. It does not imply any praise. All the other names praise His attributes and His actions. He is perfect completeness and with that one name Allah we worship Him without praise. We must realize this, precious jeweled lights of my eyes.

People are causing the fires by which they, themselves, are going to be destroyed. These flames are spreading throughout the world, and the world is approaching destruction. People are causing these fires through religion and races, scriptures, dogmas, and colors. Aggression is the weapon they are holding in their hands. That is their nourishment, and that is what satisfies their hearts. The spreading of these conditions throughout the world is evidence of the coming destruction.
