It contains the essence of events, its wisdom *** and God, the Generous and Effective, extends it.
There is no lineage between him and his God *** except attachment and actual existence
Do not listen to an article from an ignorant person *** The basis of existence is truths and falsehoods
The basis of existence is witnessed facts *** And the only existence is the false impossible.
He says that for the beginning of the universes there is evidence in them that they did not exist for themselves and then they were. And to Him is the pronoun that refers to the beginning when the stirrup descends, that is, if you trace it from where it came from, you will find it from the one who created it, and therefore it has permanence. God Almighty said: “And what is with God is everlasting.” So, if it is established with Him, you will know his position with Him who was in it, since He was not for Himself, and that is the position of divine priority in His saying, “He is the First.” And from this priority came the beginning of the universe, and from Him all events are derived, and He is the ruler over them, and it is based on His ruling and the denial of lineage from Him, for the priority of truth is It extends the primacy of the servant, not the primacy of the universe.
