Qur’án: “And We desire to show favor to those who were brought low in the land, and to make them spiritual leaders among men, and to make of them Our heirs.”
2 Or, we wish to grant a favor to the impotent souls and suffer them to become the inheritors of the Messengers and Prophets.
13Now is the time for you to divest yourselves of the garment of attachment to this world that perisheth, to be wholly severed from the physical world, become heavenly angels, and travel to these countries.

14Upon you be greeting and praise!
