The Meccan Revelations: al-Futuhat al-Makkiyya

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


It is because he is a human being, for humanity is the same, but it is because he is an authority, which is the rank. The rational among people sees that the one who controls the kingdom is the rank, not his essence. If that were because he is a human being, then there is no difference between him and every human being, and so are all appearances. The men of God view themselves in terms of their eyes. Not in terms of their being manifestations, so the rank was the ruling, not the concern, and this is the fruit of the truth that they reaped when they ruled by it and they gained servitude, and servitude is the worship of the obligatory duties and the worship of the voluntary ones .

And who is right ?

The answer is the one who gives the right, and he is described as a just judgement. That is why I warn you about the realization of this matter. Know that if the one who is right is the one who gives the right, then it is none other than God. The sect’s goal for the one who is right is to be truthful in the claim in seeking the right that he deserves, and it is an issue. It is difficult, for God has given everything its creation, and it is what it deserves. He has given everything its due, so this student is what he deserves. How can it be true that what he deserves is withheld from him when he says, “He gave everything its creation.”

Let us say, “Know that His saying, ‘He gave everything its creation,’ is only from what that thing’s essence is based on, from the seasons that constitute its essence. As for what those chapters require of supplies and symptoms, that is not what he gave, because the symptoms of every entity are not finite as long as it is described by remaining in existence. And what is not possible for finitude cannot enter into existence, but rather in succession and succession. The right seeker is the one who does not ask for what his essence does not deserve in terms of its attributes and symptoms, such as one who does not have the right to accept contemplation, so he asks to be characterized by thought. So he is right in asking for it. If a person asks for it, if he is predominant. He has to stand with the tangible things, so he has the right to ask to be occupied with contemplation of the creation of the heavens and the earth and all the signs. He is right in his request, and his claim is tr

Our Sheikh Abu Al-Abbas bin Al-Arif Al-Sanhaji used to say in his prayers, O God, you have closed the door of prophecy and the message for us, and you have not closed the door of guardianship. O God, no matter how much you appoint the highest rank in guardianship to the highest guardian you have, make me that guardian, for this is one of the right people who asked for what could be their right, even if it was. Prophecy and the message are things that man deserves rationally, because his soul is capable of them, but when he knew that God had legally closed the door to them and blocked the door to prophecy by laws, he did not ask them and asked what he deserved, for God did not withhold guardianship over us.

From this chapter, the question of the means, even if it is not similar to it, but it is close to it, but we attached it to it in the analogy because of a presumption of a state, which is a degree in Paradise that no one will attain, or it is appropriate for only one man. He, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, said, “And I hope that it will be me.” He asked for the means for me, intercession is permissible for him. If one of us asked his Lord for the means for his own sake, he would not ask for what he does not deserve, because perhaps only a person who is of a specific quality will obtain it, and God says to us, “And seek the means to Him.” However, he did not say that, so this could be part of supplication and that characteristic. Either it was gifted or acquired, and the Messenger of God, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, did not specify it or restrict it to any one person in particular, nor did he say that it is not appropriate except for those who are bett

We hope, through this, that we will have in Paradise something equivalent to that degree, just as the value of an example for us regarding legitimate rule in this world, and that is that between us and him, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, is a brotherhood of faith, even though he is the master who does not resist or multiply, but he joined us in the path of faith, so he said God Almighty, the believers are only brothers, and it is proven in the Sharia that if a person supplicates for his brother in the back of the unseen, he says, “The kingdom is for him, and you have the same, and you have a double.”

So if we supplicate for him by the means while he is absent from us, the king says, “And you have the same,” then it is his, and the like is for the supplicant, so he obtains from his combined degrees what he attains. The owner of the means is from the means like the value of the proverb because the means has no equal, that is, what then a degree
