Page 215 - from Volume Four (Display Image)Of them, not for their own sake, the happy soul is charged with two types of happiness, one type is hidden from committing disobedience and undesirable, neither obedience, nor disobedience, nor desiring nor undesirable, he is the happiest of happiness, and the other type is hidden after the judgment of disobedience in him from punishment for that, and he is forgiven He and these rulings relate to the one who is obligated inwardly and outwardly, so the Sa`id, the perfect, the perfect, the infallible, and the lesser the preserved outwardly, the inwardly not the preserved. He is less concealed than his name Abd al-Ghafir, and more concealed than his name Abd al-Ghafoor, and the medium between them is Abd al-Ghaffar. The ruling on these names is for those who committed against them or those who protected him from the occurrence of the crime from them, and they have the provisions of the names of God. [ That from the curtain is what is caused by mankind ]And know that among the veils and their relaxation is what is caused by humanity, which is his saying, and it is not for a human being that God should speak to him except by revelation or from behind a veil, which is concealment, or he sends a messenger, and there is no worship of the truth in it, that is, the image in which he is hidden, i.e., the images in which he is also hidden. God says to his Prophet, may God s prayers and peace be upon him, so reward him so that he hears the words of God and the speaker is the Messenger of God, may God s prayers and peace be upon him, and that God said on the tongue of His servant God hears those who praise Him and God Almighty says: I was his hearing and his sight The hadith, these are all veiled images given by mankind and then there is nothing but human beings, and the spirit of this issue is what prevented you from prostrating to what I created with my hand, so he denied the mediators about the creation of Adam and from here to below that the rule of the name of human beings. Restricting and relaxing the curtains on the full moon and the eclipsed curtains, so some of them are shadows, and among them are objects that are such as the eclipse of the moon, the sun, and the other five planets, and the greatest of them is the covering of the sun, because it obliterates the lights of all the planets, so no light remains except its light in the eye of the beholder, even if the lights of the planets are included in them, but they do not appear, as the enigmatic Al-Jaadi said in praise him Did you not see that God gave you a picture *** you see every king below it oscillates You are the sun and the kings are stars *** If you rise, no planet appears from them We know with certainty that the planets are visible and appearing in their objects and streams, but the perception of the beholder falls short of them due to the power of the sun s light, a light upon the light of the sight, which dazzles him. It was said to the Messenger of God, may God s prayers and peace be upon him, did you see your Lord? How can he be seen by it, then it is a veil over him, and that was only due to weak perception, for the Almighty may manifest itself in what is below the light, and he sees as it was revealed wherever he wills, and he says, You will not see me, because his vision is not his vision. The field of forgiveness is wide because it is the unseen and the testimony, and God surrounds them behind them. So dangle the curtains backwards *** drenching the curtains in the mirror Without quarrel, nor quarrel, nor argument, nor quarrel Every Majali has a veil *** that veils it at every viewer From the right and from the left *** and in front and behind Everyone who sees him knows him *** whether he is a sincere or a hypocrite " President of oppression "If my oppression is my command, then I *** if I command the matter, I will have control On it, it appears to exist in my image *** We are neither forbidden nor commanded [ The place where the emergence of oppression and compulsion is evident ]Its owner is called Abd al-Qahar and Abd al-Qaher, so the greatest of scholars is the one who does not have this name, I mean Abd al-Qahar or Abd al-Qaher, and he is the Arif, the perfectionist, who is cared for, rather he is the infallible. |
