15. Al-Hijr

'This is a path, obligatory, for Me, to establish and take care of, that is straight, without crookedness, and it is that you shall have no warrant over those saved servants of Mine, except those who correspond to you in terms of deviation and remoteness from My path and follow you.

It [Hell] has seven gates, which are the five senses and lust and wrath - to each gate belongs an appointed portion of them, an organ specific to that [gate], or certain creatures who shall specifically enter through that [gate] because of their being overcome by the faculty of that gate.

Truly the God-fearing, who have cleansed themselves of the coverings of nature and disengaged from the attributes of humanity, shall be amidst gardens, of the meadows of the world of the holy, and springs', of the water of the life of knowledge, to whom it is said:

'Enter these, safe from the configurations of physical bodies and the diseases of the heart that prevent the arrival to this station, secure!, from the defects of the world of contrareity, the accidents of engendered existence (kawn), corruption, the changes of the states of times and substrata.

And We remove whatever rancour, that is, [whatever] firmly rooted malice or configuration that rises from the soul towards the aspect of the heart that is adjacent to it [that], may be in their breasts, by effusing light and the mastery of the faculty of the spirit and the reinforcement of the holy. Those are the ones whose darknesses have been overcome by their lights from among the folk of knowledge and certainty, and from whom, consequently, have been eliminated dark ego-centric configurations and the effects of enmity that are the concomitants of the falling down of the soul and its inclining to the world of contrareity, and in whom has radiated the faculty of primordial love by the mirroring of the holy rays and the lights of the affirmation of Oneness and certainty of some of them with [those of the] others such that they become brethren by virtue of the compact of faith and spiritual correspondence between them, upon couches, high levels, facing one another, because their degrees are the same, their levels near to one another and [because] they are not veiled.

No toil will touch them, because of the impossibility of there being [present] the causes of incompatibility and contrareity, nor will they be expelled from thence, because of the everlasting nature of their station and its transcending time and its vicissitudes. As for the modality of the angels' descent upon prophets and the embodiment of disengaged individuals, who are detached from corporeal configurations and who are holy, by the high spirits, that has been alluded to in sūrat Hūd.
