And the pain which is found in one who is beaten as a consequence of being beaten by any man, and the state of being broken in glass as a consequence of its being broken by any man, and such things, all that is created by God Most High, and the creature has no part in its creation and a slain man is dead because his appointed time (_ajal_) has come; and death exists in a slain man and is created by God Most High, and the appointed time is one.[6] And that which is forbidden (_haram_) is still Sustenance (_rizq_), and each one receives his own Sustenance whether it consists of permitted or of forbidden things; and let no one imagine that a man shall not eat his Sustenance or that another than he shall eat his Sustenance. And God leadeth astray whom He wills and guideth aright whom He wills, and it is not incumbent upon God Most High to do that which may be best (_aslah_) for the creature. The punishment of the grave for unbelievers and for some rebellious ones of the believers, and the bliss of the obedient in the grave, and the questioning by Munkar and Nakir are established by proofs of authority. And the Quickening of the Dead (_ba‘th_) is a Verity, and the Weighing is a Verity, and the Book is a Verity and the Tank (_hawd_) is a Verity, and the Bridge, _as-Sirat_, is a Verity, and the Garden is a Verity, and the Fire is a Verity, and they are both created, existing, continuing; they shall not pass away and their people shall not pass away. A great sin (_kabira_) does not exclude the creature who believes from the Belief (_iman_) and does not make him an unbeliever. And God does not forgive him who joins another with Himself, but He forgives anything beneath that to whom He wills, of sins small (_saghira_) or great. And there may be punishment for a small and pardon for a great one, if it be not of the nature of considering lawful what is forbidden, for that is unbelief (_kufr_). And the intercession (_shafa‘a_) of the Apostles and of the excellent on behalf of those who commit great sins is established. And those believers who commit great sins do not remain eternally in the Fire although they die without repentance. Belief (_iman_) is assent (_tasdiq_) to that which comes from God and confession (_iqrar_) of it. Then, as for Works (_amal_), they are acts of obedience and gradually increase of themselves, but Belief does not increase and does not diminish. And Belief and al-Islam are one.* And whenever assent and confession are found in a creature, it is right that he should say, “I am a believer in truth.” And it is not fitting that he should say, “I am a believer if God will.”* The happy one sometimes becomes miserable and the miserable one sometimes becomes happy,* and the changing is in happiness and misery, and not in making happy and making miserable: for those are both qualities of God Most High, and there is no changing in Him nor in His qualities.
