« With this elliptical comment Tustarī is indicating that all that is required for sincerity is to devote our religion purely to God, which is the only worthy response to the divine command. What is implied by the [true] response is explained in the statement that follows. 4 Ṭāghūt is a word for idols or Satan, but by extension it has come to mean evil. 5 That is, according to MSS Z515, f. 91b, F3488, f. 268a and the published edition, whereas MSF638, f. 43a, has mīrāth instead of mīzān, which might be translated as ‘legacy’. 171 »
