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


Contemplation is a state of which I am not ignorant *** God established it in verses and surahs

If it were not for contemplation, people would be in serenity *** and in bliss with souls in beds

Thought is a natural attribute and it does not have *** as a judgment on anyone who knows Except for human beings.

And if what we said had been true, I would not have looked *** My eyes were drawn to conditions and images

It has the effect and the names are listed *** The command is carried out in the desert and in the city

Know, may God grant you success, that thought is not a divine attribute unless it means planning and hesitation in the first, in which case it is a divine attribute. As for thought, in the sense of consideration, it is a natural attribute and does not exist in any of the created beings except this human category, and it is for the people of wisdom who look at existing beings in terms of what they are. Meanings neither in terms of their concrete meanings nor in terms of what gives their facts. God Almighty said: And they contemplate the creation of the heavens and the earth, and when they contemplate, that contemplation benefits them with knowledge they did not have, so they say, “Our Lord, You have not created this in vain.

The position of thought does not go beyond considering God in terms of His being a God and what one who has the attribute of divinity should deserve, such as exaltation, reverence, and lack of Him in essence. The ruling for all of this was found before the existence of the laws. Then the law came with it informing and commanding, so it commanded it, and if human nature gave it to be an act of worship for which it would be rewarded. If it is a lawful act for the servant, it will produce for him what it would not produce if he was characterized by it, not in terms of what is lawful .

Thought has no rule or scope regarding the essence of truth, neither reason nor Sharia, for Sharia has forbidden contemplating

about the essence of God, and this is indicated by His saying, “And God Himself warns you,” meaning, do not think about it. The reason for that is the high degree of correspondence between the essence of truth and the essence of God. The creation and the people of God, when they knew the rank of thought and that it is the goal of the scholars of drawings and the people of honor among the righteous, and that it gives correspondences between things, they left it to its people and denied it to be a state for them, as will come in the chapter on abandoning thought.

Thought is a state that does not give infallibility, and this is why its position is dangerous because the one who does it does not know whether he is right or wrong because it is susceptible to both rightness and error. So if its owner wants to achieve what is right in it, mostly in knowledge of God, then he should search for every verse revealed in the Qur’an in which there is mention of contemplation and consideration, and he should not go beyond what came from This is not in a book or a recurring Sunnah, for God has not mentioned in the Qur’an anything that one should contemplate or stipulate that it should be created as a lesson or that contemplation should be associated with it, unless it is correct with it, memorization, and the achievement of what is intended by it that God intended, it is necessary for that, because the truth is what He has appointed and singled out in this place and no other, unless He has It enabled the servant to reach the knowledge of what he intended

If you go beyond the verses of contemplation to the verses of reason, or the verses of hearing, or the verses of knowledge, or the verses of faith, and you use thought in them, not a single sentence will be correct. So stick to the verses that the truth has designated for people who reflect, and do not go beyond the levels of matters, and do not change the verses to other than their levels, and if you follow what I said to you, you will be praised. Your endeavor and you thanked me for that, so search for every verse as a lesson and think and you will be happy, God willing, as well as the verses that contain consideration from this intellectual door, such as the Almighty’s saying, “Do they not look at camels, how they are created?” and such as His saying, “And do they not look at the kingdom of the heavens and the earth,” and likewise, “Have you not seen how they are created?” For your Lord By the companions of the elephant and His saying, “Have you not seen your Lord how He stretc

Every name has a ruling, and the right to mention it is not designated except so that His servants understand it and teach them how to bring things down to their proper places. That is wisdom and its possessor is the Wise. God praised those who honored him with wisdom, saying, “And teach him the Book and the wisdom,” and he said, “And We gave him wisdom,” and he explained the discourse, and he said, “And whoever is given wisdom has been given wisdom.” A lot of times and he doesn't remember Except those of understanding .
