As for his choice of fasting

The Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, said to someone who asked him about fasting, for there is nothing like it.

So he denied the same thing as fasting, so it is more like, “There is nothing like it,” and he said, “Fasting is for me.”

And He made all acts of worship for man, since fasting is an attribute of purity, and no purity should be performed except for Him, the Most High .

As for his choice of the months, the month of Ramadan, because of its participation in the name, for Ramadan is one of the divine names, so he was given the same sanctity as it is for the rest of the months of the year, and he made it one of the lunar months, so that his blessing would spread to all the months of the year, so that he would appear in every month of the year, so that every day of the year would receive a portion of it. The best months among us are the month of Ramadan, then the month of Rabi’ al-Awwal, then the month of Rajab, then Sha’ban, then Dhul-Hijjah, then Shawwal, then Dhul-Qa’dah, then Muharram, and here my knowledge of the virtue of the lunar months ended, and I was confused about the order of virtue for the remaining months of the lunar year, and that is the month of Safar, Rabi’ al-Akhir, and Jumada al-Ula. As for Jumada al-Akhirah, I have no knowledge of the order of merit in these people, or whether they are equal in merit, and this is what I think is

As for his choice of the pillars, the pillar of water, because from water He made every living thing, even the throne, when He created it. What was highest was water, so life flowed into it from it. It is the greatest pillar, as Hajj Arafat said, even if the cause of life were things with it, but it is the greatest pillar of those things.

As for his choosing from the spheres the Throne, because He has encompassment of all bodies, and God encompasses everything, and He has primacy in the spheres, and whatever is below them is the first to encompass, so He chose it for equality of what is between the two attributes. If the Throne is the King, then it is more likely that He is without choice, because there is nothing but God and His kingdom. Everything other than Him belongs to Him, and it has been stated that He is distinguished from other things, so it must be chosen for priority and encompassing, because the heavens and the earth in the interior of the Throne are like a ring in an expanse, and the Throne in the interior of the Throne is like a ring in an expanse.

He chose from among His servants the angels, for they were created from light, so their bodies are inherently luminous, so they are the closest relative of all creatures to the divine light, and therefore

And He chose from among the blind signs, and they were His before the creation of creation, and from Him He created the commanding angels, understanding them in His majesty. Then He created the creation, and their aspiration in the majesty of His beauty preoccupied them with seeing other than Him. They are those who do not know that God created anyone in what a most honorable state, so He made the blind signs for Him, and the Throne is level with Him, and the heaven. The world is for His descent, and the earth is for His accompaniment, for He is with us wherever we are.

And he chose from among the people the messengers to convey from God what He was commanded, for he only sent them out to know about it because he wanted to be known, so he introduced them to the messengers through the books and newspapers he sent them with, so they knew him with personal knowledge, just as they knew him with the minds that he created for them and gave them the power of intellectual consideration, so they knew him with evidence and proofs with knowledge. Negative existentialism. The power of the mind in its independence was not greater than this. Then after that, the messengers came after him with self-knowledge, so creation worshiped the God who identified them with His law, since the mind does not give any action, nor any closeness to closeness, nor a personal attribute that confirms the truth, and the mind does not have any share of the law. His evidence is independent of him, except that there is nothing like him on the increase of the Kaf, not on its confirmat

He chose the name God from among the names and gave it its place in words. It is the name that is used to attribute but not to be described by. All names are an attribute of Him, but it is not an adjective. This is why derivation is involved in it. It is a rigid name, a knowledge established for the essence in the world of words and letters. No one else has been characterized by it, the Almighty, so He protected it from association, just as This indicates that there is no god other than Him .

So we have mentioned of the divine choices that take away the way of alerting the heedless minds to what they have been called to in terms of consideration and insight, and we have not exhausted the matter in its entirety because we do not know by means of comprehensiveness the details of what God has created of the existing beings, even if we are able, with what God has enabled us to limit the existing beings, then everything is included in that. We have not dealt with this except to know the individual types of what He has chosen and selected from each type, the type of creatures confined to existence, existing by themselves, biased, and unbiased, of those existing by themselves and not existing by themselves, and the type that does not accept bias except by dependence, and what is composed of that and what is not composed, and the sections of the world are limited. And the existing ones as we mentioned

And then there is a relative detail that the mind can use independently, which is comparing things to one another by distinguishing their ranks, the effect of some of them on others, the influence of some of them on others, and the dependence of some of them on others, but comparing divine closeness by taking care of them and not by what their realities give them is not possible
