Bismillaahirrahmaanirrahiim
"O Ruqhoyya, write!
Whoever I, Allah, mention by name and within My Will is My Plan.
Whoever comes to Me or does not come, or whoever disbelieves or obeys—indeed, My Will shall not be halted by anyone.
In the end, I, Allah, will surely continue with My Plan.
My Command is My Guidance. In the end, I, Allah, am the One Who knows My Plan.
You are only to obey and submit to Me.
Whoever comes or does not come is not your concern.
You are only to convey My Message, and I am the Decider.
Whoever comes to My Call, they are in My Right Hand group.
Indeed, I, Allah, am the Decider.
Open Surah As-Sajdah, O Ruqhoyya! Indeed, I, Allah, love those of My servants who reflect.
Did I, Allah, not grant you intellect? And you are not in the era before the coming of Muhammad.
You are servants who believe in Me, after I, Allah, sent Muhammad, your final prophet.
Is not My Guidance clear for you, and only those of sound intellect take heed.

Verse 14
"So taste the punishment because you neglected the meeting with your Day—indeed, We too have neglected you. Taste the eternal punishment for what you used to do."
Verse 15
"Those who believe in Our signs are only those who, when reminded by them, fall down in prostration and glorify and praise their Lord, and they do not act arrogantly."

"And do they not see that We drive water (clouds) to barren land, then produce therewith crops, so that their livestock and they themselves may eat? Then why do they not reflect?"
