Rather, he called it a robe because it is derived from the abbreviated apostasy, which is destruction, because he is completely consumed with the truth, such that it does not appear to him that there is an eye with the appearance of the divine emotions about him, so he does not find in himself a reality by which he can attribute any of those emotions to him, so it is a complete truth, which is what he, peace and blessings of God be upon him, said. And grant me peace and make me a light

The answer is what has emerged from the claims of creation in the presence of divinity. Who am I among the ranks of those who say it? Pride is a condition of the hearts insofar as it does not know who to whom pride should be attributed, for the truth is known to all that exists, and knowledge follows pride. He was more knowledgeable about it. The pride of the truth in his heart was greater than one who does not have in his heart what necessitates it. If pride were an attribute of the essence, then the essence would be composite. And if He was the essence of the essence, and glory be to Him was manifested and knowledge of Him was taken away in His manifestation, the One who was manifested would not find a great effect on him for this Manifested One due to his ignorance of it, so if He blessed him with knowledge of it.

Knowledge is what describes the knower, not the known. Likewise, arrogance is described by whoever is described as knowledgeable. Pride is one of its effects in the heart of this person.

The perfect human being who, from the first intuition, points to his Lord, is the crown of kingship and nothing but the perfect human being.
His saying, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, is that God created Adam in His image
And He is the first and the last. And the apparent and the hidden, the divine perfection did not appear except in the compound, for it includes the simple and does not include the simple compound. The perfect human being is the first by intention and the last by action, the apparent by the letter and the hidden by the meaning, and he combines nature and the mind. For in him is the densest structure and the most gentle structure in terms of his nature, and in him is abstraction from the materials and forces ruling over the bodies, and this is not the case. For other created beings besides Him, that is why He was singled out for knowledge of all names and all of the words, and God did not teach us that anyone other than Him gave Him this
