1  Now, my beloved, the little ones come and sit on my knee and say "Voice Of Allah, Great Teacher, how did all things begin?  How did Allah create all things?"
2  And I have taught them how Allah made all things.  And it is right that I should teach you, also so that there will be no confusion in your hearts.
3  In The Great Beginning there was only the darkness that was everywhere.  And Allah came into the darkness and said "This darkness is not good!  It is empty and forlorn, and brings me no pleasure. I will split the darkness, I will have it with the light, so that there will be difference, so there will be light and darkness."
4  And Allah created all the stars that shine in the sky, so there would be light everywhere.
5  And when He saw this, He said it was good, but after a time that the stars had lived and died, Allah thought "There is no one to enjoy this but me!  Let me make living things to live between the stars and enjoy this with me."
6  And He made great living things so vast they are beyond our understanding.
7  And the living things enjoyed all that Allah had made, and He was happy.
8  But then Allah decided to make worlds to circle the suns He had made, and He made various sized worlds, big ones, little ones, and on some of these worlds there could be life, but no life came.
9  But Allah said "I will take ten of my Great Souls, Those that live among the stars, and I will put them on this one world, and I will let Them make life."
10  And Allah put life on that world, and to make Him happier, He made that life into a great many things.  But He was not pleased because there was no one to share it with Him.  The animals he adored, but they could not converse with Him.  So Allah made Adam, and put him above all things.
11  And then he split Adam asunder and made Eve, because it was better to have two than the one.
12  And Allah was pleased, and he told Adam and Eve to fill the world with life, but to cherish the life that was already there, and abuse it not.
13  And we are all the descendants of Adam and Eve.
14  This, my beloved, is how Allah made all things.  Exactly how He made all things is a mystery.  But that He made all things is a certainty.  Do not worry at this, do not let it concern you.  The how does not matter..  All that matters is that it was done, and Allah is glorified in that that He made.
15  Tell your children of The Beginning that they may know and understand how great is The Glory Of Allah that He made all these wondrous things..

1  Oh, beloved, how to tell you of the Place that awaits you, that Promise that Allah gives to all the faithful and, the true, all who do His will and abide by His Teachings.
2  Imagine, oh beloved, a time when the rain has been good, the fields are green, and the young foals frolick with the mares, when all the world is tranquil and full.
3  Then, beloved, times this by a hundred, and you would not know the tranquility of Paradise.  Imagine, oh beloved, the greatest palace you have ever seen, beautiful beyond anything you could imagine, and times this by a  hundred, and it would not compare with the smallest hovel in Paradise.
4  Imagine the greatest crop you have ever seen, the greatest bounty, and it would be nothing compared to what is in Paradise.
5  There are, my beloved, no words that can make you understand how glorious is the Gift that awaits you.  No man or woman will want for anything.  All will have their greatest desire.
6  Oh, wondrous is this Place, oh beloved!  Oh glorious, is the Place where Allah dwells, and those who have served Him dwell with Him.
7  Imagine all you can, all you would want, and it will not be half that you will have if you abide by Allah's Will.  How could you even think, beloved, of losing what is to come to you?  How could you ever think of giving it up for the temporary things of this world that have no value in The Place To Come?
8  A man could have all the gold in the world, he could make his house of it, and all the world could praise him, but in Paradise he might not have a single room, he might have to wander in The Darkness because he squandered his wealth and did nothing for anyone.  A man could have the finest clothes in this world, and find himself in rags in Paradise.
9  Do not think, beloved, that your greatest treasures are here.  What is here is nothing.  What is to come is all.  Do not lose all for what is here.  It is not Allah's wish.  Do what Allah desires of you.
