therefore whoso turns away from you misses the aim (and deviates from the right path)

whoso closely adhere to you reaches the destination

whoso fails short of that which is as it ought to be in your case compare and contrast to lower in grade destroys himself

Verily truth is with you amid you in you and it always directs itself unto you

you deserve it as it stays permanently with you

the inheritance of Prophethood is with you

you are the ultimate destination to which the people will have to come back

to give an account of themselves before you

it is your privilege to separate evil from good in clear words

in the light of the signs guidelines of Allah you are fully aware of

because for His unavoidable decrees and plan He relies upon you

you are the true reflection of His light and Signs

authority to guide has been conferred on you

whoso turns against you shall rot in Hell

he who says no to you in fact renounces the faith

he who makes war against you is as bad as a polytheist

he who forsakes you shall find himself in the lowest tier of the burning fire

I know for sure that certainly you are like what is said above

and shall continue to be so in future

your souls, light and form are made from the same clay

They are thoroughly pure and infallible altogether

Allah created you in the form of light

then kept you closely attached with His Throne

until you were sent down in this world as a favor to us

allowed you to pronounce and praise His name aloud in the Houses of Allah

made our sending blessings on you and being loyal to you as signs of the legitimacy of our birth

and the purity of our souls

And the refinement our manners

And His forgiving our sins

We thus have become among those who believe undoubtedly in your (excellent) virtues

and by becoming aware of your true status we have been distinguished

Allah made you reach the noblest position of glory

the highest station nearest to Allah

and the loftiest status of the Messengers

where none can ever reach you

nor can anyone surpass you

nor can anyone ever precede you

No can anyone look forward to reaching your positions

even the favorite Angels went for it

nor the commissioned Prophets

nor a friend nor a martyr

nor a scholar nor an ignorant

nor an inferior nor a superior

nor a pious faithful

nor a wicked sinner

nor an obstinate tyrant

nor a devilish rebel

nor any other being had ever been there

except that Allah informs them of the grandeur of your decisive authority

importance of your thoughtful ideas

power of your meaningful intelligence
