The knowledgeable servants of God put between themselves and the attributes of the Truth when creating His names what God has described to the Most High of that attribute, so they take it insofar as it is an attribute of purified servants of God, not insofar as it is an attribute of the Almighty Truth, for their honor is not to depart from the position of servitude. This taste in the knowers is dear, for most of the knowers only adopt the beautiful names in terms of what they are the names of God Almighty, not in terms of what we have mentioned about the fact that the highest group has been characterized by them in a way that befits him.

There is no other than Him, Glory be to Him, the Most High, beyond what the oppressors say. He is very high, for His will is the Throne of His Essence. This is what Abu Talib al-Makki said: If you understand, then it is opened to you in the knowledge of the lineage of the divine names that appeared by the appearance of the divine manifestations in the essence of possible things, and they varied, were naturalized, and were individualized.
