He hath laid down the foundations of the lofty Citadel, He hath inaugurated the Cycle of Glory, He hath brought forth a new creation on this day that is clearly Judgement Day-- and still do the heedless stay fast in their drunken sleep. [1=Qur'an 17:81, 2=Qur'an 15:72] (13:4) The Bugle[1] hath sounded, the Trumpet[2] hath been blown, the Crier hath raised his call, and all upon the earth have swooned away-- but still do the dead, in the tombs of their bodies, sleep on. [1=Qur'an 39:68; Epistle to the Son of the Wolf, p. 133, 2=Qur'an 74:8]
(13:5)
