husks, which encase the pith, as well as the t heir protection, and have entirely
ignored the pith itself. The out husk represents the verbal profession that there is
no god except Allah, which profession is called monotheism in contradistinction

outward expression of the heart represents its belief and acceptance of that
belief. This is the monotheism, which the common folk profess.

admonition (tadhkir). Allah said: “But remind, the Reminder will benefit the
believers.” Koran Ch. 51 verse 55.
