Look at that view that we mentioned, and if you know this

[ God did not create man, knowing everything ]

Know also that God did not create man with knowledge of everything. Rather, he commanded his Prophet, may God s prayers and peace be upon him, to ask him, the Most High, for more knowledge when he said to him, and say to him, Lord, increase me in knowledge. The knowledge of the existence of God and the knowledge of the poverty of the one who spoke to him. If this is the case, then each of these attributes must flee to God to witness his poverty, and what the ruling on poverty gives him is pain to the soul to suffice him who is cut off to him. Perhaps he removes the pain of poverty, with what pleasure falls to him, and he is rich in God, and it is a demand that is not correct. It occurs in the first place, because if someone dispensed with God, he would be dispensing with God, and dispensing with God is impossible. Being dispensable with God is impossible, but God gives him something of the things that God creates in him at this request, enriching him with it and removing from him what he finds of pleasure. The pain of that particular poverty does not remove from him the pain of total poverty that It cannot be removed from the possible, because poverty has a self-description, neither in a state of non-existence nor in a state of existence, and that is why it is not made in the same possibility except if he gives him that. In the Hereafter, it is necessary for the one who is in this state of abandonment and flight The matters that preoccupy him about this matter until God reveals his insight and insight, so he sees the matter as it is, and then knows how to ask and who to ask and whom to ask and the likes of this, and he knows the meaning of his saying that God is the Rich, the Praised, meaning that God is praised with riches and manages his saying. Because it is impossible for him to worship himself, and when we said he came with praise, because the attribute of the rich is nothing higher than it, and it is an intrinsic attribute of the Almighty, so understand the reference, for the phrase here is forbidden. Because he found him in himself of embarrassment and distress in watching them, if he looked at the face of truth in them, he would not flee from them, nor was he alone with himself, and he remained in this state until the truth came to him, so he returned to the creation and did not remain in them, for he was still in the cave of Hara with himself, so he remained except from some People are not from all people, so understand that every student of his Lord must be alone with his Lord in his secret Because God has not made man outwardly and inwardly except to be alone with God in his interior and witness him in his outward in his causes after looking at him in his interior until he distinguishes him in the eyes of the causes, otherwise he will never know him. If he makes sense of God, when I first learned that the matter is as I mentioned, I stripped myself of this structure scientifically nowadays because of my ignorance of the status of the truth in this temple and my lack of knowledge that God has a special face in everything. I did not see any light in it from the regions, so I asked about this darkness from where it came, and it was said to me: This is the darkness of nature, for the darkness is three layers, one over the other, so that if someone takes out his hand, he can hardly see it, so it is better that he does not see it, so he denies the closeness to vision, so how about seeing, for darkness is a divine veil that blocks the existence of the truth. So I said, What are these three darknesses? It was said to me, The first darkness that is witnessed to you is the darkness of nature, for it is the first layer that follows your sight. Then, this nature was not found except in the third stage, and above it is the darkness of the possible accidental cause that I found about it. And double the shadows So I witnessed the soul, so I saw darkness on top of darkness, then it was said to me above this second darkness a third darkness, and it is the reason for which this soul was found, and it is the first intellect. I do not have a reason, so I said, "What is wrong with him?" He said to me, "This darkness has an intrinsic nature, and it is darkness."

He derives it from the darkness of the unseen, over which there are no witnesses, just as it falls upon the unseen in it, if it appears from it and separates from it and becomes testimony.

It is an animal body in its mother s womb in three darknesses: the darkness of the womb, the darkness of the placenta, and the darkness of the abdomen. If a child is born, darkness descends into it, so that its appearance is light and its interior is darkness, so he cannot walk in the darkness of its interior except with the lamp of knowledge. If he does not have this lamp, he is not guided in it. That if it had no light in some aspect, I would not have looked at it correctly, nor would I perceive it. So I asked about the light that it prepared for my vision to be attached to it, and it was said to me that the light of existence is in it. You are the darkness of your ability, for it is my self-qualification for you, for you are not
