The constellations of heaven have a power
Through which God raises their dead.
Their wisdom within the earth is their movement,
So that through movement He gathers their scattered parts.
God built them for us
And appointed their times through movement.
Their time was nourishment for them,
And He determined earth's sustenance within it.
This is the revelation of its command. Names differ because loci and forms differ. Through heaven and earth He encompassed what is high and low within the world, for in existence there is only high and low. Among His Names are the High and Lofty in Degrees, Rafīʿ al-Darajāt. The Names' command and sustenance are the very entities of their effects within possible beings. Through effects their entities are understood.
They remain through their effects. A Name's sustenance is its effect, and its determination is the duration of its ruling within the possible, whatever possible it may be. From this Presence is ﴿There is nothing whose treasuries are not with Us, and We send it down only in a known measure﴾ [al-Ḥijr 15:21].
(The Treasuries of Sustenance and Their Ranks)
The treasuries with God rise and descend. The highest is His Footstool, which is His knowledge, and His knowledge is His Essence. The lowest treasuries are what thoughts have stored within human beings. Between these two are treasuries
