Page 265 - from Volume One (Display Image)( A regular issue from this section and this is its picture ) But we said that the laws differed because of the difference in the divine lineage, because if the divine proportion to the lawful order of something in the law was like the proportion for the prohibition of that same matter in the law, it would not be valid to change the ruling, and the change of the ruling has been proven. With that, her Prophet and her Messenger, so he abrogated and proved, so we know with certainty that his attribution of the Most High in what he legislated to Muhammad, may God s prayers and peace be upon him, is different from his attribution to another prophet. [ The divine lineage differed due to different circumstances ]If it is said, why did the divine lineage differ, we said to the difference of conditions, so he who is in a state of illness prays, Healer and Healer and who is in a state of hunger says O Sustainer and from a state of drowning he says, O aider, so the proportions are different due to different conditions, and he says, Every day he is in a matter and we will empty your two lambs for you. His saying, may God s prayers and peace be upon him, when His Lord, Most High, described the scale in His Hand, He lowers and raises it In the case of weight, it was said that the lowering and the uplifting were lower, so these ratios appeared, so it is in the different conditions of creation [ The circumstances differed according to the time .]And our saying that the conditions differ because of the different times, for the different conditions of creation are caused by the different times over them. Some scholars say with what the times do to natural bodies. Expose to the air of the time of spring, for it does to your bodies what it does to your trees, and guard against the air of the autumn season, for it does to your bodies as it does to your trees. He wanted, so you grew a plant because the source of your growth is only a germination, as he said in attributing the genesis to the soul that is commanded by it, so He the Most High said, Indeed, what we say to a thing, when we want it, is that we say to it, Be , and it is. So He made the Genesis to Him as well. [ The times have changed due to the different movements .]As for our saying that the times differed because of the different movements, then by the movements I mean the astronomical movements, because with the different astronomical movements the time of the night and the day happened, and the years, months and seasons were specified, and this is expressed in times, and our saying that the movements differed due to the different orientations. ? |
