Chapter: | On knowing the juxtaposition of haughty humbleness. |
Page 534 - from Volume Three (Display Image)The grievance of the infidels that faith does not remove the downfall of the affliction on them, with God accepting their faith in the hereafter, so they meet it, and there is no sin for them, for perhaps if they lived after that, they would gain burdens. O Equal Creation *** How many times do you call? So make haste a day before *** and would like you to settle down The earth has men in them *** Like scum that was richer The Most Merciful created a creature *** Like what He said, He did it Then he gave him mighty *** and he became stronger He said be for everything *** it was not and it was a misfortune And if the truth says about itself that it was created, it was created, and it was ordained, then it is guided, then why do you not glorify the name of your Lord the Most High? We are with us with his identity and he is with us with his names, so do you see the eye of the gnostic being one of the universes and the eye of the notables not having the truth with him? The one who is obligated in terms of her creation and her eyes are like the rest of her body, which is her property, also praises God. So what disobeyed and violated the command is one of this sentence expressed by man. So you see God does not accept obedience to this sentence in the disobedience of that one, and where is the generosity except here, O man, what deceived you about your Lord, the Most Generous This is a warning from God to his servant that he says your generosity as the knowledgeable, believing ruler does when he says to the thief and the adulterer: Say: I did not commit adultery, or Say, I did not steal, or say No, because he knows that if he confesses, he will impose a punishment on him. Perhaps the adulterer will be astonished between the hand of the ruler, so he will warn him to say this article, and the hadd will not be averted from him by this, and God says the truth and He guides the way Chapter Three hundred and eighty-seven on knowing the stages of prideful humilityWhoever is hale of what is of his kind *** is ignorant and has strayed from himself If he knew his attributes *** what is his gender? And all that is in generosity in it is from *** the dark nights and the sunshine of its sun And everything in the universe in it is from *** His lowest descent and from His holiness And look, you are the matter, so prove to *** knowledge, and do not look at his intuition [ God has lowered himself to the status of his servants ]Blessed and Exalted be He said that he is not like something and said, and what God has destroyed is the right of his destiny. He is the one who says in the authentic reports about him: I was sick and you did not visit me, I was hungry and you did not feed me, and I was thirsty and you did not give me water He says such a saying to his servant, so he sent himself down here as the status of his servants, and where is that pride in this descending? It is proven in the Sahih that God marvels at a young man who has no patience And the It is proven that God rejoices in the repentance of His servant than the joy of the owner of the she-camel that has food and drink on it, if he finds it after it has gone astray while he is in a deserted desert of earth and is certain of death, so he rejoices in it, for God is more joyful in the repentance of his servant than this is his she-camel And the It is proven from him that the Almighty clings to the one who comes to the mosque, just as the people of the absent cling to their absent if he comes to them And where is all this from the Almighty saying, the Lord of your Lord, the Lord of the Glory, what they describe and peace be upon the messengers and praise be to God, the Lord of the world Indeed, and I see falsehood as false, and here the vision is related to the non-existent, for falsehood is non-existence. His saying, may God s prayers and peace be upon him, that God created Adam in his image In some aspects of the possibilities of this news, and the Almighty s saying: We created man in the best of stature. This is only for his creation in the image of the truth. Rather, he sent him back to the lowest of the low in order to combine the perfection of the image with descriptions, as he mentioned about himself that he is upon him. |
