Provisional translation
Verily, this is a Book from God, the All-Protecting, the Self-Subsisting, unto him whose name God hath made the name of Nabil-before-Ali, a remembrance from His presence unto all the worlds. O Nabil-before-Ali! Bear thou witness that there is none other God but Me, the Lord of all divine attributes [3.5s]
