Everything He created and died is His right, the Sustainer, with what He gave of the livelihood to every nourisher of mineral, plant, animal and human being, without stipulating disbelief or faith. Existence was the cause of witnessing and seeing as seen by some spectators, and in any case, testimony is special, for whoever says that the cause of vision is the preparation of the visible, then nothing is witnessed except the truth, and what is found from the possible and what does not exist, and the impossible remains known by the unseen. And the whole earth is in His grip, and the fact that charity falls into the hands of the Most Merciful, so He takes possession of it by the arbiter with a large amount of sustenance that does not give the oppressor a large amount, and it is the known destiny, and that the Almighty takes what He wills from that because of the trial and benefit and simplifies what He wills of That is because of what it contains of affliction and the uplifting interest, because God Almighty is in His hand the scale. He lowers the premium and raises it, so He raises it to give the kingdom to whom He wills, honors whom He wills, and enriches whomever He wills. The treatment of gratitude, the fulfillment of rights from some gratitude is more general in the attachment to the humiliating goat, so he cherishes his obedience and is humiliated by disobeying him. By Him in this world some believers to cherish them in the hereafter and humiliate those who inherited them humiliation in this world because of their faith and obedience. They answered what they were called to, and this is how the truth deals with its servants by being all-hearing and all-seeing in the affairs of its servants, as he said to Moses and Aaron, I am with you, I hear and I see. He said to them, Do not be afraid, if he is given sight. e Security, that is the meaning of the seer, not that he witnesses it and sees it only, for he sees it as a reality, whether he supports him, betrays him, takes care of him, or neglects the ruling with what will be decided by the ruling on the Day of Resurrection between his servants and what was revealed in this world of legal rulings and man-made laws of judgment. Establishing the Hanif religion, he said, My Lord, judge by truth, for he is inclined to it, for He has made a ruling for desires. Those who follow him have strayed from the path of God who is kind to his servants, for he brings them wellness that is included in the unpleasant medicines, so it is hidden from the example of painful medicines that include healing and comfort. It does not have any effect at the time of use. Even though we know that it is in the same use of that medicine and we do not feel it because of its kindness and out of His kindness it goes into the actions of existing things, which is His saying: God created you and what you do, and we do not see the actions except from the created, and we know that the agent for those actions is God. His saying, Until we know, let us see whether we attribute to him the occurrence of knowledge or not. So see also this kindness. That is why the expert was paired with the gentle. So the gentle, the knowledgeable, the forbearing said: He is the one who was slow and neglectful and did not hurry to blame the one who did evil out of ignorance While he is able not to be ignorant and to ask and look until he knows the great in the hearts of those who know him to be thankful for asking for an increase from his servants for what he thanked them for and reminded them of from their work by obeying him and standing by his limits and his rules and his orders and his prohibitions and he says: If you are thankful, I will give you more. The Most High is upon Him in His and His Essence, from what befits the characteristics of the occurrence and the characteristics of the great hadiths, in what the polytheists set up from the gods and that is why Al-Khalil said in Exposition of the argument against his people with his correct belief that God is the one who broke the idols that were taken as gods until he made them scattered with the claim of their worshipers by saying, We do not worship them except that they bring us closer to God.
