Garden of Justice is a treatise in Persian verse comprised of some 170 segments featuring 14 verses each. At the end of each segment, the following two verses are repeated:
In all attributes it is You that we see
By essence, God, and by face, Ali.
O God, to the religion of truth do I swear Thee
To forgive the crimes of this sinner is my plea.
The main theme of this 164-page treatise is a description and explanation of the 28 spiritual ranks and the role that each of them has played during various times, including their individual impact on the governance of the world.
