Do you not know that you are upon a land that is protected [cursed], transformed (mamsukha), impure, and filthy? > Raise your head and supplicate to Me with your heart; that is more of an approach (azlaf) for you and brings what you desire from Me closer to you.'

So I departed, utterly terrified."
