3. 4. 5. 6. 7.

The people of the earth need to be loved but for their good will. One love keeps men together, hatred divides many men. He that hath the love of the Lord in his heart will be loved by godly men.

Do not fight against he that loveth thee in heart, for he will protect you from harm when the danger comes (near). 16. Believe in righteousness and the fruits of love will grow in thee. And never turn unrighteous for that darkens the soul. 17. A little while ye love her, a little while ye dislike her. Search your soul and find the truth. Patience is better. 18. The gift of love is roses, and its perfume pleasing. But what can encompass a searching soul except I care? 19. For every good deed you do, you love the action when sincere. Therefore choose ye sincerity above purposed gains that you may become happy. 20. Turn not all together away from truth, for in truth must love have a strong foundation and without it is no basis. 21. When you found the love of your life, do not things to annoy herbut please her and content her handsomely. 22. Women are indeed crooked, if you straighten them they are broken, and if you leave them alone they remain in that state. But forgive and love much, for thus are they created. 23. A life without love is meaningless, and that which hath love is purposeful. For a man and a woman are to come together and establish a union (of happiness). 24. Destroyed is the man that calls a chaste woman a fornicator or an adulteress. Speak no lie lest your Lord finds thee wanton. 25. Love encompass many things so does hate. But love unites many things, and hate divides them all. 26. A call saying: Love me shouldnt be replied as evil or not worthy. But consider the heart, and know your partner. 27.

(Color) 1. What is man made of? Clay of different shades. 2. Some are white, some are black, and some in between. 3. Therefor, a man that scorns a race is a fool and has no understanding towards the right. 4. The despised race may be the conquerors, while the elevated may be brought low. It is all in Gods Hands. 5. He creates what He wills, and pigments them as He wills. 6. Not true is it that some of a race are more intelligent than the other 7. Nor is it that a race is superior than the other. 8. Nor inferior. For all these are false doctrines and bear no fruit. 9. As for the righteous, the Lord guideth his steps. And he knoweth no color as superior or inferior. 10. All he knoweth that we be men only. Bound to die at a term fixed, returning to the Almighty Who will tell what ye did. 11. Therefor, unite as one people and the world will see no difference. 12. Embrace the word of truth and ye may be guided. 13. Do not allow the chiefs to mislead you saying: Our race or tribe is under attack, defend your gods! For all these have spoken vainly and know no truth. 14. Also seek not other gods from false traditions. The only God, is God Alone not two but One. He commands and invites you unto paths of righteousness which is best. 15. Love one another and never become distracted from the purpose in life which is to believe, worship your Lord and become righteous men. 16. He that hath a woman from another tribe he liketh, let him marry from that tribe. And he that hath a woman from another race he liketh, let him marry from that race. Say not: No! to a different coloring. For I give you good advice and am a wise councilor to thee. 17. He that mocketh a man from another tribe or another race, God Himself doth mock him, for he is ignorant. 18. And nothing befalleth the ignorant out of pride save destruction at the end. 19. Therefor, beware of what ye say that it may not be counted against you on the day of resurrection. 20. The true distinction between mankind is belief from unbelief, and messengers and prophets are sent to bridge the differences and not to expand them. Do ye see?

(The Gates of Paradise or Paradise) 1. At the entrance of paradise, the angels welcome the true believers from every side saying: Peace be unto you. And the Lord says: Ah! Passing sweetly will be the welcome of the heavenly home 2. They are visited from every gate because of the works they sent forth in their days on earth. 3. The believers in God are sure that they will have to account for their deeds, and because of thisthey are watchful. They keep heed at every moment and mind what they do every day. And if the forget or make a mistake, they are quick to seek forgiveness. 4. The Lord had promised the believers an eternal home in paradise where they will get all they ask for. All they desire and naught will be diminished. 5. And the gates differ from one another but the foremost in the race will be invited from every gate, there will they eat and rest. And sweet goblets marked with gold and sapphire will be given them. 6. Do not disbelieve this statement, for you can become one of the lucky ones this day. Believe in the saying of the truthful and you become righteous. You find your way herein and walk within it. 7. God inspires me (the truthful) to write, so I write, even as a prophet which is not false. 8. Would you not desire to enter paradise? An abode where everything is sweet to the eyes, and the ears? Where there is no vanity or any cause of sin to hold you back for you to move forward? 9. If you accept this. Then follow me. I will never lead you astray for I cannot. And if you help me, God Himself will help you from His presence that you supported Sadiq, the truthful. 10. I am guided from all sides, and will not sin against my Lord knowingly. I am the trustworthy companion whom God sent to deliver His message finally that the world may know peace. And that they may believe in Truth. 11. If ye be Christian or Jew, believe. If ye be Muslim, add to you belief. And if ye be not of the three parties, accept the right religion before the hour come unto you while unknowing. I give you good advice. 12. And do not turn away from me when I have told you what God promises you if you believe, if you do good works. And your works and effort go not in vain. Nay, everything is indeed recorded. So take note of your actions now. 13. That you should be aware means you are listening, and take heed to the perfect advice that there is Only One God. The True God of all mankind. God intends to unite the human race as one. That ye be brothers of one another and no slaves to one another. That the world should flourish and a goodly splendor of riches reach you. So help Sadiq, the truthful. The most beloved of God this day. For he is the best in conduct. 14. In paradise will you get abundant honey, milk, pure water and minerals refreshing. I know for God told me. And you will be wedded with fair lovely ones with refraining glances save to their husbands. God called them saying: They are as like the hidden eggs of the ostrich. And if you have an earthly wife that is righteous on earth, you will also be wedded with her in the hereafter. From this you can perceive that true love based on righteousness is eternal and ever lasting.

15. Do not listen to false prophets who strife to thwart the revelations of God, or to divide mankindthey are evil and do no right. For the guiltless they call guilty, and the guilty they make free. But the Lord will consign them all unto hell in the hereafter. For they strife against God, the Invisible while He encompasses them, round about. 16. The Lord speaks to me, and I hear Him. And the revelation come in different forms. First, when He addresses me directly, when I write on behalf of what He said aforetime, or when I write what I know from His presence. Three ways does He speak to me, and it comes (the revelation) first from the ear, into the heart, and then I speak or write them down. Allah knows best. 17. It is better you believe in the gardens of bliss, and find rest in my writing for your heart will be at peace. There is much trouble in the world, but the righteous with a higher understanding will not dwell in fear from anyone save His Lord. 18. Will you then come with me to the garden? Follow me.

For the Lords Hand is wide and very big. In His Hand will the earth be rolled up, as the likeness of a scroll. 11. Pay ye heed and be ye fearful of that awful day, for it is the day of reckoning which none can escape, not even the fly boozing a nest. 12. Then will all be judged fairly, each according to his deed. 13. As for the righteous, there is much good that awaits him. 14. As for the wicked, there is evil for judgment. 15. Turn your ways to truth, and listen when the crier cries from a near place, for indeed that will be rising forth from the graves. 16. Listen to your heart that the Lord may speak. 17. If it commands you to do right, do it. 18. If it commands you to do evil, turn awayfor thus hath the devil asked.

19. Withdraw from evil and shield it away from every side for the Lord guards the righteous who listens and comes unto the Lord with a contrite heart. 20. There will he be rewarded paradise and brought into the garden at hand. 21. Where all ye find are sweetening to eyes and glaring to the hearing with no sense of vanity. 22. If you have an ear that listens then hear. The Lord hath bided you to serve Him only. To worship Him only and be steadfast in thine duty towards Him. And that ye worship not lying gods, nor pay heed to false prophets who pervert judgment and speak lies only. 23. And that you trust in Him in the day of trouble and in the day of great prosperity. And remain ye thankful even till your day passes by. This hath he commanded you that ye may discern (truth).

(Sight) 1. The sight gives light to the blind. 2. It unfolds the misery of life, and lay clear what is to come. 3. The seer of false vision is blind and has no sight, while the seer of true vision sees well, and has sight. 4. Never trust in men who go to diviners to show them a way, for all their stories are lies. 5. There is none that knows the unseen save God Himself, and He reveals them unto His prophets, the chosen of God to deliver His message. And there is no lie in them, for they are true. 6. Yet a while ye see the way, and yet a while ye become blind. But he that trusteth in the Lord is given vision at all times. 7. Remember that the end winners are the righteous, for at every hour they discern truth and see clearly what others do not. 8. He that is given sight from childhood attaineth something great. But he that become an blind and yet an adult is a foolish one. And there is none to deliver him for he will die blind. 9. See the truth of life as a firm standing, and the Lord will establish your presence. He who lieth faileth miserably. 10. And put your trust in the Lord, for He will guide your every move. He will not leave you in the ditch to fall, but will ascend you even unto Himself and say: Thou hast done well 11. A robber at night taketh with him a torch to see the way. But who will guide him when the light is quenched? He seeth naught and is delivered to the watchmen. 12. Pray and fast in due season that the Lord may open your two eyes to see the road. 13. Though a righteous man die early, his deed is not wasted. But the wicked dieth and people celebrate against his departure. 14. Do not trust the lies many chiefs preach unto you, for it will lead thee astray, for they are an ungodly people. And do no right. 15. A man can be physically blind, and yet a seer. And another can have the eyes glowing to see the sun, yet seeth not.

16. The power of the Spirit is in man to discern truth from lies, but what can give sight to thee save the all-Seeing, Who is God? 17. As time passes, so does night and day befall. He that walketh in the night behold darkness, and he that walketh in the day behold light. But there is safety for those who see in both (times). 18. Stand still saith the Lord to the transgressor and they will not move for they are in darkness. But the upright moveth merrily without a blockade. 19. Deceive not the people nor thyself, for your deceit will end you in hell for it is darkness. 20. Light gives sight and darkness gives blindness. As for the upright, he is ever seeing. And as for the crooked, the path of light is not his. 21. Believe in God first, and trust in godly men and their unions, for they spare thee no hurt. But he that walketh close to the pit while unseeing will fall therein. 22. Pass the cup of pure wine unto thine brother that he may drink therein, and never say I spare it not for greed darkens the heart . And in the heart is sight, or no sight. 23. God increaseth in right guidance those who walk aright, and the good deed that endureth is better in thine Lords sight for reward and better for resort. (Mary)

(Those who write) 1. Blessed is the man who pondereth what he writeth and lay no confusion into it.

To write an inspiration from the Al-mighty requires no thinking, but he that confuses men misleads himself. 3. There are two things that are sure, the creation of the heavens and the creation of the earth. But he that giveth right answers to hidden matters is well taught of the Lord. 4.

He that writeth in the true light and never obscure truth have founded his treatise on a solid rock which will never break (to two). 6. Never trust the writing of the deceitful for in it wrought great corruption and his way is perverse. 7. He that trust the Lord, the Lord will teach him what to speak and write at all times. 8.

He that considereth their writing and believeth therein is also with them. But the doubters are ever in schism. 9.

Show kindness unto orphans and the weak among men for in them are the blessings of thine Lord. 8. The best in conduct is the most beloved of the Lord. A righteous king who loveth his subjects oppresseth them not, but showeth much compassion and love. 9. Understanding the road to life ends well.

They may talk, they may speakbut he that challengeth the Al-mighty will not last long. 3. The truth is clear, thread ye this path and no other. For after truth there is naught save falsehood. 4. The Lord showeth you the way, and thine own heart inspireth thee to do good if ye be righteous, not so is the wicked for all their paths are made obscure and cannot see the true light. 5. The Lord founded the earth and the seven heavens in truth but what can be understood save this? 6. He that believeth in falsehood will fall on the way to ascension, but he that trusteth in truth will walk therein, secured. 7. The truth is the way, it is the light of the world. Follow thou the path, for he that lieth faileth without contention. 8. The chiefs among men confuse the way, but the seer recognizes their scheme and his Lord saveth him for he understood. 9. If the world be good, it is for the favor of mankind. But if the world be wicked, it is against their match. And that the Lord may shew thee things to come, trust in Him. 10.

And his Lord can forgive him. 2. Turn ye in sincere repentance this day towards Him that made thee that ye may find mercy. 3. He that wrongeth his soul and pusheth the blame upon the innocent hath burden himself with a crime that is fragrantand its odor is wicked. 4. O believers, turn all of you towards forgiveness to your Lord and He may have mercy upon you. Lo! I give you good advice. (Sadiq) 5. He that sacrificeth a sheep unto a lying god will not be forgiven. But he that sacrificeth such unto the One True God will find mercy from Him.

6. Seduce not yourself into evil but seek forgiveness of a wrong, and do good that ye might achieve great success.

(It befalls at day timeA scroll of Sadiq1). 1. On the day when mankind are gathered unto their Lord. He will say: Verily, We have resurrected thee even as We created you at the first, but ye thought there will be no tryst for you. 2. On that day man will cry: Where is it that I may flee? 3. They have no refuge on that day save he whom the Beneficent show mercy. 4. Therefor O believers, pray unto Allah Only making religion pure for Him even though the disbelievers may be averse to the call. 5. And Allah had promised you victory in the world and victory in the hereafter. Lo! The victory of Allah cometh soonbut most men know not. 6. He who trusteth in the Beneficent findeth favor with his Lord. For the disbelievers there is no way. 7. He it is who created you in pairs, some among you hath He caused to be keepers of others. Is it then the favors of their Lord they deny? 8. He who increaseth in good works, Allah will cause in his heart to bear fruit. And happy is indeed the man who pays heed to the right adviser. 9. The night befalls, and so does the day. And the moon glows, so does the sun shine. It is not that the night should outstrip the day, nor the day to outstrip the night. All flow each in an orbit. 10. Therefore O mankind! Believe in thine Lord before the inevitable day reacheth you for in that day will ye be sundered. 11. Those who be friends will become foes one unto another saving those who kept their allegiance unto Allah. 12. And trust in Allah, and believe in His messengers. And if they ask thee O Sadiq, Are you a messenger? Say unto them: I tell you a certain truth which none deny save the wanton. 13. Therefore believe. That is better, and he that doth a good deed, it will be recorded for him, while he that doth evilis recorded against him. And We are never unaware of what ye do. 14. Give the kinsfolk his due, and the parent if they be needy, and the orphans and the wayfarers. And love those who do good, and warn the wicked from his way thus Allah speaketh that ye may know. 15. Therefore is the level set plain. Can the understanding be compared to the dumb? Or can light be compared to darkness? Take ye heed and pay attention unto his speech, for that is better for you saith Allah. 16. And of the Christians and some among the Jews believe in your writing O Sadiq, and some among those who say: We are believers And there is none to deny thee save the disbelievers in truth, for thou art truthful. 17. At night time pray unto thine Lord, and even during the daymeditate His praise and be ye humble. And that verily is right action but most men know not.

18. And that the promises of Allah may be fulfilled, wait gently. For ye cannot hasten a thing, and We are in control of all things. 19. And though some among them see thee, they see not. And some among them hear thee, but they hear not. This have We caused that he that is impure may not attain purity. And he that is of contrive heart and pure in devotion may attain greater station. 20. And We will not utterly ignore mankind without them laying account of what they do. Are We not the runners (of their affair)? Say: Unto my Lord belongeth all power, will you then join gods with Him? Say: I join no gods with Allah, for He is Allah, the One, the Almighty. 21. We are best aware of what they say concerning thee (O Sadiq). And some among them attribute madness towards thee. Even so have they attributed the same unto many messengers We sent before, but will they win? 22. Say: He who believeth in truth findeth his way. But he who disbelieveth in the truth when it cometh unto him is guilty and cannot find a way. Will you then be of the believers? 23. Allah is it Who created you, and your like of the flying creatures and the beast of the land and the sea. Nothing have We neglected in the book of Our decrees. And then unto Him they will be returned. 24. Say: O mankind! Your Lord hath bided you naught save you se rve and worship your Lord. And that ye do good unto the neighbors of kin, and unto neighbors not of kin, and that ye remain steadfast on the path without ye consulting lying gods on the surface of the earth, which cannot help thee nor save. 25. He it is who created you from dust, and then created you in the wombs of your mothers by a gushing fluid from the loins and ribsand then perfected your shapes. Naught is as His likeness, and He is Able to do all things. 26. And of His Signs is this, ye power on your devices, and turn off ye themand there is no power. Can one be equated to zero? Thus have We revealed it that ye may reflect. 27. And when thine brother speaks to thee (O Sadiq) he laugheth to scorn and saith: But why should your scroll be long as this (in writing). Say unto him: Lo! As for me I cannot do you hurt nor profit you save that which Allah willeth. My Lord inspireth in truth and thus have I written. I dwelt with you a long-time before it came unto me. And I tell no lie. 28. And the Unseen is only known by Allah. No man knoweth that which he earns tomorrow, nor knows for certain the land which he die. Lo! Allah is the Knower of all things. 29. We shall increase thee in wisdom (O Sadiq) be not afraid of what they say, for We have made thee strong, and your face is hard against the disbelievers though they abhor. 30. And while ye write your brother numbereth the writing saying: Write ye this certain number of verses and let it end. But truly he hath no sense, though he thinketh himself wise. 31. Indeed We will make thy path easy in life, and ease thee of the burden. Lo! Allahs mercy encompasseth round about you (O Sadiq). 32. Therefor, be grateful unto your Lord, that He hast preferred thee above many. 33. On the day the event befalleth, they who hope not for the meeting with Us will stark with fear, for their end indeed as come.

34. Therefor, be patient and watch them a while. We will visit them with that which they knew not. 1. The Scroll of Sadiq is a replica of the Koran but to a lower degree, since stories of the prophets of old are not told in them. But lays much emphasizes on truth only.
