Then, from some of what this legislator said to him, “Know your Lord,” and this wise man, if he did not know his Lord, which is the principle relied upon, he would not have believed this Messenger. The knowledge that the Messenger asked him to know his Lord must be other than the knowledge that he gave him as evidence, which is to practice it. In obtaining knowledge from God about God, he accepts it with insight into these matters that God has attributed to Himself and described Himself with, which the mind has attributed to His evidence, so it has been approved for him by his belief in the Messenger. Indeed, behind the mind and what it gives him with his thought is another matter, which gives knowledge of God that which the rational evidence does not give, but rather refers to in one word.
