He is Powerful over all things. In His earth and under His heaven, Allah has worlds known to none but Him; He is the Most High, the Great.

If the matter is as you have mentioned, we find in the histories recorded by our sages and scholars—those whose truthfulness is verified, whose virtue is manifest, and whose wisdom has appeared—reports indicating that behind the Encompassing Mountain is another world. However, we say there is no path to be trodden to them, nor has anyone come to us from them to inform us of their affair. If you choose for me to mention what our sages recorded—which aligns with the report used as proof for the lands of these People—I shall do so."

My Master said: "If the King—may Allah prolong his life—sees fit to favor his friends by mentioning that, let him do so."

The King said: "The sages, scholars, and virtuous ones of India recorded for us on the Golden Tablet the beginning of the manifestation of the Lord of the Great House, to whom all regions point. From his first manifestation until our time, there have been thirty-five manifestations, with a thousand years between each.

Before the first manifestation, the Indians used to worship the Sun. The astrologers among the greats and scholars of India recorded the Beginning, mentioning that Allah, Exalted Glory, began the world while the rising sign was Cancer. They claimed that from the start of that time until where we have reached is three thousand years or slightly more; they have a lengthy argument for this.

As for the philosophers and religious men among the Indians, they recorded that Allah, Exalted Glory, is an unchanging Knower, an eternal Power, and a Creator who has never ceased creating one creation after another. Everything perfected and mastered is of His creation, and every deficient and diminishing thing is of the creation of the created. What the Creator creates is akin to the burning from a fire or the sound from a speaker.
