Page 394 - from Volume Three (Display Image)If the test and its compulsion did not exist *** in it, the souls would not refuse if they refused God Almighty said that the day of them will testify to them and their hands and their feet with what they were working, and therefore they say to their skins if you testify to them, why did you witness, then you will say to us. Animals and speech, so whoever misses witnesses has missed a lot of knowledge, do not judge what you did not see, and say: God knows best what He created and the earth of man is his body, and he has testified against him for what he has done. We are against the nations with what God Almighty revealed to us from the stories of his prophets with their nations A person will testify about what he has not seen *** if the truthful news comes to him Everyone has been revealed to him who *** inspired him, all of them speak So see what is in his being other than him *** then he is the existence of creation and the Creator If the matter is confined between truthful news and witnesses, we know that the whole world is revealed to him Then there is no covering or veil *** Rather, it is all apparent He knows the truth without a doubt *** and his secret is buried in the womb So he reveals the formation, so he becomes and witnesses it as he wills, and he sees it, so his testimony of true news is like his testimony of an eye, in which there is no doubt. Like the testimony of Khuzaymah, so the Messenger of God, may God s prayers and peace be upon him, established him in his testimony as two men, so he judged by his testimony alone Testifying by revelation was more complete than witnessing with the eye, because if Khuzaymah witnessed the testimony of an eye, his testimony would not take the place of two, and with him God has preserved us, a messenger has come to you from among yourselves to the end of the surah. It was proven by the testimony of Khuzaymah alone, may God be pleased with him Arrived and alertAs for speaking about matters of taste, it is correct, but not in terms of understanding, but every taster has a multiplicative example, so you understand from him what suits that example in particular. Which is evidenced by the complicity between the addressees. We do not doubt if the Qur an is recited to us. Indeed, we have heard the words of God, and Moses, peace be upon him, when God spoke to him, he heard the word of God. God raises mediations what can be equal in comprehension to whoever hears it by translating from it, for the one who has the intermediary is free to tell that about the intermediary if he wills, and about the owner of the speech if he wills, and so it came in the Qur an. And he said in adding that speech to the wasta and the translator, he said swearing that it means the Qur an because of the saying of a generous messenger who has power in the presence of the Throne. Within this speech, I stood on a sublime knowledge, as well as the remembrance that comes to them from their Lord is a newly created one, so he added the occurrence to his words. So the vision of the speaker will be more intense The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, says that God is beautiful and loves beauty Beauty is beloved for its own sake, and the truth itself has been described by it, so souls yearn to see it. As for the minds, they are standing in a perplexing situation. They did not judge or categorize that vision is impossible because of the normal restriction in sight. The believers among them refer to that by saying that the eyes do not perceive, and the vision perceives, and the insights perceive, and both of them are newly created. |
