ميثاق ولي الزمان
I place my trust in our lord al-Hakim, the One, the Unique, the Self-Sufficient, exalted above spouses and number.
So-and-so, son of so-and-so, makes this declaration, binding himself by it and calling his own soul to witness.
He does so while sound in mind and body, competent to act, willingly and without coercion or compulsion.
He declares that he has renounced all sects, doctrines, religions, and beliefs, in all their various forms and differences.
He acknowledges nothing other than obedience to our lord al-Hakim, exalted be his remembrance.
And obedience is worship.
He associates no one with him in worship, whether anyone who has passed away, anyone now present, or anyone yet to appear.
He has surrendered his soul, his body, his wealth, his children, and everything he possesses to our lord al-Hakim, exalted be his remembrance.
He accepts all his judgments, whether in his favor or against him, without objecting to or rejecting any of his actions, whether they displease him or bring him happiness.
If he should turn back from the religion of our lord al-Hakim, exalted be his remembrance, which he has pledged upon himself and to which he has called his soul as witness;
Or if he should direct this allegiance toward another;
Or if he should violate any of his commands;
Then he shall be disowned by the worshipped Creator, deprived of the benefit of instruction from all the spiritual ranks, and deserving of punishment from the Exalted Creator, exalted be his remembrance.
Whoever acknowledges that he has no deity to worship in heaven, nor any existing Imam upon the earth, except our lord al-Hakim, exalted be his remembrance, shall be among the victorious Unitarians.
Written in such-and-such month of such-and-such year, reckoned among the years of the servant of our lord, exalted be his remembrance, and his bondsman:
Hamza ibn Ali ibn Ahmad,
Guide of those who have responded,
Avenger against the polytheists and apostates,
By the sword of our lord, exalted be his remembrance, and the might of his sovereignty alone.
End.
