Then He made the movements of the heavens, which are the spheres, affect the four pillars, and what is generated from them does not exist. You are the four pillars because you are composed of four humors, and the sum of them is the same as your sensory self, which is the body. So the movements of these seven circles created prayer in you, which are generated from your pillars, and they were two rak’ahs. Because the generative creation is composed of two, a body and a rational soul, which is the rational animal, so one rak’ah is for your animality and the second is for the rational soul. This is why God made the prayer two halves, one half for him and a half for the servant. God made every periodic movement of this week in prayer a trace so that it is known that it was generated by him, so seven physical traces and seven traces appeared in the prayer. There is a spiritual effect on the movement of each half of the week of circumambulation, for it is an enduring form and a moral sph

And since there is something in human development that God singled out and preferred over all other human development and made him its leader, which is the heart. Likewise, He made in the emergence of prayer something that is the highest thing in prayer, which is the movement in which God says, “He has heard whoever praises Him,” for the one who prays in it is a representative of God, just as the heart is a representative of God. God is in control of the body, and it is the most honorable of the forms of prayer, for it is a standing of submission in which you glorify your Lord in the presence of Barzakh, and it is the most complete of the risings, because it is between prostration and standing, combining the two extremes and the two truths, so it has the ruling of standing and the ruling of prostrating, so it combines the two rulings.

Its effect on the recitation in prayer is also a sevenfold on the effect of each round in the Tawaf, which is the recitation of the seven repeated chapters, I mean the opening of the Book and its authority: You alone we worship and You we seek help, for it is a barzakh between God and His servant, for it is comprehensive and the authority is comprehensive. And He is loved, Lord, and desired, for He is the perfection of the divine presence. We are not praised except through us, nor are we honored except through Him, for we are through Him and for Him. They are seven verses and nothing else, and they are sufficient reading in prayer.

Just as the servant is the one who created in himself the seven circular rounds of astronomical shape, and in himself it effected the creation of prayer, and in himself the prayer appeared in its completeness, and nothing of all of that escaped from himself, so the matter in the manifestation of the truth in entities was gained from the preparation of every eye in which it appeared. What is the ruling on what is apparent in it while the eye is one, so it was said about it “tawaif” to whom this name gave this form that he created, which is the circumambulation, and it was said about it “a praying person” to whom this ruling gave him the form of prayer that he created in himself from his circumambulation, so it is him and then there is no other.

We mentioned at the beginning of this book what remained in the House of Hijr and why God kept it there, and we explained the divine wisdom in that, such as removing the stone and divine manifestation in the open door for whoever wanted to enter it, and that is the true House of God, and what remained of it was in the hands of the Hajba Bani Shaybah. Inwardly, there is restriction because there is a newly created kingdom, which is the restricted entity, so he must do what his essence gives him, and the Prophet’s hadith about that is famous, and the caliphs and princes neglected the meaning of the Almighty’s saying when the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, held the key to the house that he had taken from Banu Shaybah, so God Almighty revealed, “Indeed, God” He commanded you to return the trusts to their owners, so the people imagined that the trust was the custodian of the house, and the trust was nothing but the key to the house, which belonged to the Banu
