32. "The sheiks and princes"
  
     
1.
 In the name of Allah,  
2.
 Who reveals his truth through Islam,
  
3.
 We most humbly pray.  
4.
 Grant our leaders  
5.
 The dedication to learn your holy words,
  
6.
 the honesty to do what is best for the faith,
  
7.
 the wisdom to understand your will, and
  
8.
 the humility to never present to be greater or
  
9.
 equal to your prophets.  
10.
 That they may guide us  
11.
 That they may teach us  
12.
 That they will unite us  
13.
 That they will listen to these truths.
  
14.
 O messenger, write to these princes, these leaders.
  
15.
 Allah commands you!  
16.
 Write to them in My name saying “I write to you in the name of Islam and the name of Allah”.
  
17.
 Write to them but three times and let all the faithful see what is written and who has or has not responded.
  
18.
 Behold! Allah is ever merciful, even unto those who place themselves in high places and call themselves kings of Islam!
  
19.
 Behold! Allah rewards all who spend what He has give wisely and justly and admonishes all who do nothing good with what they have been given.
 
20.
 Behold! He has no quarrel with the benevolent prince, the faithful leader.
  
21.
 O Messenger, so that there can be no doubt, write but three times to their diplomatic counsel.  
22.
 O Messenger, so that there can be no doubt that it is Allah who commands you, tell these who represent the princes and sheiks that the health of their souls depends upon them acknowledging your letters on my behalf.  
23.
 Three times they shall be given the call. So upon the departure from this world, as they stand before Allah himself to be held account, there can be no excuse, no plea.
  
24.
 “Forgive me Lord, for I did not know”, shall not be permitted.
  
25.
 “Forgive me Lord, for I did not believe”, shall likewise be ignored.
  
26.
 And for those who serve these princes and leaders be warned.
  
27.
 Any who ignore, any who prevent a letter reaching its recipient shall themselves be held account and face harsh judgment.
  
28.
 For if it not addressed to you, you have no business interfering in the business of Allah.
  
29.
 Three times then, each prince and leader of power shall be given.
  
30.
 Behold, Allah is ever Merciful!
  
31.
 O messenger, here your Lord. Write to each of them three times and warn them till the end.
  
32.
 If then they come back to you later saying “Forgive me, I did not know”, you are forbidden to respond. Only if they respond themselves to one or all of these letters shall you be permitted to acknowledge their faith.
  
33.
 And for those that ignore such grace, for those that ignore their Lord, their names shall be erased, their memory shall be ground to dust and mixed with salt. It shall be to the next generation of leaders who will be given the mandate of Allah.
  
34.
 Allah be praised!
