Inspiring quotes from the Meccan Revelations (... more)


This saying does not define the matter as what is required by the face of truth in it, and that is to look at the ranks, and if they require virtue, then you look at which rank is more general and greater than the other, then the one who is characterized by it is better, so the superiority of the leaders of the ranks due to the ranks may increase, and some people prefer others to something that contains that. Credit, for credit in this regard is not considered in terms of it being an increase, but rather it is considered in terms of considering increases that have honor in custom and reason, such as knowledge, carpentry, tailoring, knowledge of legal rulings, and knowledge of what is appropriate for the glory of God, and each of them does not know the knowledge of the other, so it is said that the carpenter is preferred over the monotheist with this evidence of carpentry.

And we add to that addition, so we say in His saying, “We preferred some of the prophets over others,” that is, we made in each of them attributes of glory and honor that we did not place in the other. Some of them increased over others in the attributes of honor and ranks with which they preferred some over others, which in our view is a comparison. Because of their connection to the divine names and divine truths, it is not valid to compare the divine names for two reasons.

And all of this is in the language of detail. As for the facts, there is no comparison or better for the connection of persons with the ranks and the connection of the ranks with the divine names, and if it has rejoicing in itself and its perfection, then its rejoicing in the manifestation of its effects in the apparent appearances is more complete than rejoicing in the manifestation of its authority, as the indication is given in the statement of the speaker translated about it, when he spoke with its tongue from a metaphor. We are far from God in His words, and it is a metaphor that implies abundance.

We are in the seat of pleasure, but *** it is only through how much pleasure is achieved
