والإنسان إذا اخترق الهواء ومشى فيه بمجرد الإرادة لا بسبب ظاهر معتاد أشبه فعل الحق في تكوين الأشياء بالإرادة؛ فهٰذا الفارق بينه وبين وقوع ذٰلك بالأسباب.

وأصله التحقق بالاتباع والمتبع في التشريع إنما هو الله، والمتبع في الفعل بالإرادة إنما هو الله، والكل بعناية الله ومشيئته. ﴿لا إِلهَ إِلَّا هُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الْحَكِيمُ﴾ [آل عمران: ٦].

(محبة التوابين)

ومن ذٰلك حبه سبحانه التوابين؛ فالتواب صفته ومن أسمائه تعالى. يقول عز وجل: ﴿أَنَّ الله هُوَ التَّوَّابُ﴾ [التوبة: ١١٨] فما أحب إلا اسمه وصفته، وأحب العبد لاتصافه بها، ولكن إذا اتصف بها على حد ما أضافها الحق إليه؛ وذٰلك أن الحق يرجع على عبده في كل حال يكون العبد عليه مما يبعده من الله وهو المسمى ذنبا ومعصية ومخالفة.

فإذا أقيم العبد في حق من أساء إليه من أمثاله وأشكاله، فرجع عليه بالإحسان إليه والتجاوز عن إساءته، فذٰلك هو التواب ما هو الذي رجع إلى الله؛ فإنه لا يصح أن يرجع إلى الله إلا من جهل إن الله معه على كل حال.

وما خاطب الحق بقوله: ﴿تُرْجَعُونَ فِيهِ إِلَى الله﴾ [البقرة: ٢٨١] إلا من غفل عن كون الله معه على كل حال كما قال: ﴿وهُوَ مَعَكُمْ أَيْنَ ما كُنْتُمْ﴾ [الحديد: ٤]،

When the human being passes through the air and walks within it through sheer will, without a manifest, customary cause, he resembles the Real's act in bringing things into being through will. This distinguishes it from its occurring through causes.

Its origin is realizing following. The One followed in prescribing is God; the One followed in acting through will is God. All is through God's solicitude and will. “There is no god but He, the Mighty, the Wise” [Al ʿImran 3:6].

(Love for Those Who Turn Repeatedly)

Among this is His love, glorified is He, for those who turn repeatedly. The Oft-Returning, al-Tawwab, is His attribute and one of His names, exalted is He. He says, mighty and majestic, “God is the Oft-Returning” [al-Tawba 9:118]. He loves only His name and attribute, loving the servant for being described by it, but when he is described by it according to how the Real attributes it to Himself. The Real turns toward His servant in every state the servant is upon which distances him from God, called sin, disobedience, and opposition.

When the servant is placed in relation to one of his peers and counterparts who wronged him, and turns toward him with kindness, overlooking his wrong, that is the oft-returning one. He is not the one who returned to God, for only one ignorant that God is with him in every state can return to God.

The Real addressed with His saying, “You will be returned therein to God” [al-Baqara 2:281], only one heedless that God is with him in every state, as He said, “He is with you wherever you are” [al-Hadid 57:4],
