Page 441 - from Volume Four (Display Image)And it has a shock in the world of creation *** if it is resolved in boredom and in distress From Mahmud, the purposes of turning away, he said, Turn away from the one who turns away from the remembrance of God, which is his saying, and turn away from the ignorant, because the one who neglects the remembrance of God is exposed. Indifference to him and what opposes you except to resist him, not to turn away from him, for the one who turns away by taking over if you follow him increases your followers with aversion or lack of attention. In you and you are the one with light, so it is necessary for him to wave from your light what he will do and call him to be steadfast in your command and what you have brought, perhaps if he is one of the guided. [ The male is safe from deception ]And from that Except that the remembrance of the remembrance is safe from deception *** if that remembrance is from me on remembrance So say to the one who said the evidence thanks to him *** Except that the remembrance of the remembrance is safe from deception The remembrance of the dhikr is safe from deception. He said remembrance of the dhikr is like Hamad al-Hamd and Hamad al-Hamd is undoubtedly the truest and most fulfilling of the praises. Also, remembrance of the remembrance is the most beneficial and truest of remembrances, a testimony to the dhikr, for if the remembrance mentions you, it reminds you only of his station and his station, and you are in that state his remembrance, and it is as the truth if we call him an angel. The king, this is your inheritance from this divine name, and he said, If the attributes are embodied and objects appear to them in the images, the dhikr is the most beautiful image and the highest in rank, for there is nothing higher than the dhikr, and the reason for that is that we have nothing in our hands of truth except remembrance. He said I am the one who remembered me He became himself mentioned [ What transgresses if he testifies to the attribute of truth he rebuts ]And from that Except that the epithet of truth appears in the creation *** and you took precedence over what I said If this is the condition of the servant, then he *** is generous with what perishes me and does not remain What transcends who, when witnessing the attribute of truth, rebuts? The knower said: He who looks at the impossible in terms of its appearance with the attributes of the truth magnifies the attribute wherever it appears, unless he imagines the place that veneration is for him. If he does that, he must be reprimanded if he is not entitled to torment. The person either attaches the attribute to the attribute or attaches the attribute to the place. If the place attaches the attribute to the attribute, the greatness of the place in one way and its abhorrence is the hatred of God at a time like the arrogant and tyrannical whom God rebukes. His status was one of the ignorant. If he is well-known for his attribute, he does not care whether the place attaches it to it or attaches it to the place, for veneration of it has an attendant, and he looks at the place according to the time and the ruling of the Sharia in it and the place like Abu Dujana and his ilk. [ He who stands by the evidence is deprived of the signified ]And from that The evidences are curtains and they have fallen *** out of jealousy of the truth as a way to the sanctuary Whoever circumambulates it, his condition sings him *** about circumambulating the House of God in the Haram Whoever stands with the evidence is deprived of the signified, he said, Whoever stops at something that is his, then stand with the truth, you will be for the truth without creation, and do not stand with the truth from it being a proof of himself, for if you stand with him on this limit, you will deprive him because evidence and signification never meet, for the beholder is in the thing. In being such-and-such, he is only looking at the judgment, not at the thing in terms of its nature, so the very thing of that thing is forbidden. That is a veil over the eyes of your witnesses, and it is in the eyes of your witnesses. [ He who knows that his deeds are seen, does not worship Al-Awra .]And among that is the one who knows that his deeds are seen, and he does not worship the wrath Be sincere to your Lord for what you show of deed *** and be fearful of that deed And know that you are responsible and pledged *** for what you have brought, and beware of shyness |
