Then know after this that truth is called the apparent and the hidden, so the apparent refers to the forms in which it is transformed, and the hidden refers to the meaning that accepts that transformation and appearance in those forms, for it is the Knower of the unseen from its being the hidden and the witnessed from its being the apparent. I have informed you that the world is a divine copy in the form of truth and for that reason we said the knowledge of God. He knew the things himself, so we judged him according to the image.
