He is God!

O ye old believers and intimate friends:

2 God says in the great Qur’án: “He specializes for His Mercy whomsoever He willeth.”[16]

3 These twelve Central States of the United States are like unto the heart of America, and the heart is connected with all the organs and parts of man. If the heart is strengthened, all the organs of the body are reinforced, and if the heart is weak all the physical elements are subjected to feebleness.
