Page 294 - from Volume Three (Display Image)In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful The Chapter Three Hundred and Sixty-One on Knowing the House of Participation with the Right to Appreciation, which is from the Prophet MuhammadIf there were other than God in the universe, they would not find *** who would be active in it and passive But he is one in the universe alone *** by invention and by switching countries And composition is not due to the lack of *** nor its integrity in the eye from a tendency So look at countries in whose folds there is boredom *** and look at boredom that turns out to be bees And by it the highest ark above it is an ark *** from the crescent on purpose to Saturn It was brought by an angel from Sidra, and it reached *** the end of the matter in the veil of fatigue And do not proclaim what the difference proclaimed *** O principle of the matter, but O cause of causes Because it is a title whose features give *** a poverty that it performs like all other diseases [ The dominant angels in the majesty of God ]Know that God supported you with a spirit from Him that God Almighty says to Iblis: What prevented you from prostrating to what I created with my hands in the direction of honor and specialization for Adam, peace be upon him? From fire and you created it from clay, and when it was said to him, Prostrate, will I prostrate to the one whom you have created from clay? This is the meaning of our saying in your view, Or were you one of the high in the same matter, meaning that you are in the same matter better than him, for here he did not want the majesty of the ignorant angels who are under God. The command to prostrate, and they are spirits, they are not angels, for the angels are the messengers of these spirits, like Gabriel, peace be upon him and his likes. In prostration, God did not mention that He addressed only the angels, and for this he said, so the angels prostrated, all of them unanimously, and Iblees was appointed on the interrupted exception, not the continuous, and these spirits are dominant in God s majesty for Do you not know that God created Adam, and there is nothing to preoccupy them with God, God says to Iblis, Were you one of the exalted ones? The origin of the existence of the ocean, so the high people were not commanded to prostrate, because what happened to them was mentioned in the definition of God us. His saying, defining the animal human beings with the perfection of the perfect human beings, or whether they did not see the pronoun in they see refers to the animal human beings: We created them for them, i.e. for their sake, so the pronoun in them refers to the people of the perfection intended from the world by the divine discourse from what our hands have made. This is because of the complete honor with which Adam, peace be upon him, was honored by adding animals to his creation to his hands, and they are among the blessings he bestowed upon them. |
