  quote: ''
  summary: The passage uses images of split fruit, jewels, light, fire, water, stars,
    and purity to teach that speech reveals inward character, saintly company transforms
    the soul, reverence for Ahmed/Mustafa brings protection, rejection brings punishment,
    persecutors inherit curse, and divine truth illumines heaven-favoured souls beyond
    lower planetary influences.
