If there was no deficiency in existence, he would have fallen short of the rank of perfection But he is imperfect, so he showed his perfection in him, Dhul-Jalal Every creation of every creation *** God did not devoid of beauty Because it is referred to *** in every contract in any case There is no perfection or beauty *** except to God the Dependent From every person in every aspect *** in deed, situation and article O He who sees me with a true eye *** Do not make judgment for imagination Because he held every guide *** rather he is guided, not from misguidance And if that is the case, then strive not to emit from you an image except that it is created in the utmost perfection in word and deed. The truth is when he says it and his acceptance of it, and whoever witnessed the memorizers, from this place he witnessed them, and when the truth Almighty made me witness His Lord, the Most High, is witnessed by a witness or witness or his witnesses the king is not like that, for he is witnessed by a stranger to him, even if the truth is his sight, then it is greater in foreignness and more anxious for the owner of this attribute because the king should not be a watcher over God and he is a watcher, so the king in this case must be veiled On the authority of God Almighty, he is not witnessed by the attribute of his servant, for if he witnessed it, he would not be able to be a watcher over him, so this servant must be anxious about witnessing the king.
