Page 412 - from Volume Three (Display Image)![]() And He is God in the heavens and on the earth, and upon Him comes close to His servant multiples of what His servant draws near to Him if he seeks to Him in the way that has been prescribed for him. He was dear, and he did not come down to us except through us, so the attribute is ours and not his. We are the same as that path, and that is why we call him al-Hamid, i.e. al-Hamid al-Hamid, because if he appears, he asks for the name of the subject and the object. Either he gives the two things together like this, or he gives the one command to the presumption of the situation and he praised himself, so he is the praised praised The greatest praise he has given to himself among us is that he created Adam in his own image and called him the Mothers of Names, under which each name enters its enclosure. He, may God s prayers and peace be upon him, said: You are as you have praised yourself So he added the perfect soul to it as an addition of kingship and honor to what He said: He who knows himself knows his Lord Every praise that God has praised for the perfect human being who is Himself because He created him in His own image, that praise is the same as praising God with the testimony of the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, and his introduction to us in His saying, may God s prayers and peace be upon him, you are as you have praised yourself That is, everything that you have praised for the one whom you created in your image is your praise for you, and since the perfect human being is the path of the Mighty, the Praised, the path is not to be followed in it, and the path is not characterized by behavior. The one who knows the truth only walks in God, for God is His path, and that is His law With him is my bond and we build his bond *** He is my path and I am his path So see my article, for it is an honest statement *** arbitrator, verifiable He is my beloved, and I am with him. He has lost the entanglement of my heart, for I am his palatial Glory be to Him, so what our eyes perceive *** Because of His proximity, He has folded its simplicity After him because of his proximity is nothing but *** this and what I have said is his deduction He is on the Mighty Path, because He is the Creator, so there is no foot for a creature in Him. The path of the Mighty, the Praiseworthy, so we moved from the light to the darkness of confusion. Therefore, if we hear Him praising Himself, we see that in our souls. Humiliation and transcends this description in himself, so we say we are what we are after what we said when he brought us out of the darkness into the light he is he and we are we distinguished. We launched it as He said I can't count your praise We restricted it to the absolute, so we distinguished it, and whoever restricted it, it is not described as rich, for the restriction connects it, as the innovator has realized his release, the Almighty, and he said about himself that he is free from the worlds. We perceive and do not know the reality of our selves, and we are unable to know ourselves, so we know that I am incapable of it, so that is knowledge of Him, not knowledge And other than this, it is not *** for it is apparent and clear So listen to what we say, you will find it *** knowing and certainty has come to you Ignorance is a subjective characteristic of the servant, and the whole scholar is a servant, and knowledge is an intrinsic characteristic of God. [ The path of the Lord ]And as for the path of your Lord, the Most High has referred to it by His saying, Whoever God wants to guide He opens his chest to Islam, and whoever He wants to lead astray, He puts his chest in a hardened heart. It is as if it goes outside of its nature and something does not depart from its reality. Likewise, God places abomination on those who do not believe. He means with anger, contentment, hesitation, and hatred. Then he made it obligatory. Then he said, with the dislike, that he must meet me. This is the exact same thing as his saying as he ascends to the sky. He is like compulsion in choosing. So whoever rises from one of the two descriptions from among the servants of God is not at all perfect, and therefore he said in the right of the perfect, and we know that you are suffocating what narrows you. |
