O ye peoples of the earth! Hearken unto My call, ringing
forth from the precincts of this sacred Tree—a Tree set ablaze by the
pre-existent Fire: There is no God but Him; He is the Exalted, the All-Wise. O
ye the servants of the Merciful One! Enter ye, one and all, through this Gate
and follow not the steps of the Evil One, for he prompteth you to walk in the
ways of impiety and wickedness; he is, in truth, your declared enemy. [cf.
Qur’an 2:163-164]
