Page 402 - from Volume Two (Display Image)So know that what you heard *** from the saying Be of it you were created The outward appearance of the matter was the saying of *** and in the innermost part of the matter you were And the exact form that seemed to me *** and it is the existence that you saw Something has been proven by the saying of my Lord *** If that was not what you would have found So pure non-existence does not have an eye for evidence, so say it is true If you were not, then my love *** when he said, "Be", you would not have heard So what thing did you accept *** the universe or the universe of the eye of you? So the word of the Presence is words as he said, and our command is but one, and it was not repeated, so the matter is the same as the formation, and there is no divine command except to be and be the letter of existence at Sibawayh from the necessity of existence and does not accept accidents. The law, then the thought says what is then something, then something appeared, not from a thing, and the law says, and it is the true saying Rather, then something and it became a universe *** and it was hidden and became an eye Look at the camels, how they were created, meaning the clouds created from the vapors here that rise to the heat in which they are, and the vapors are an elemental soul, and there is nothing extra on the clouds, and it was not a cloud in the breath, but rather a thing, then clouds appeared and condensed, then water dissolved, and it descended and became vapor, so it rose and was clouds. Look at the clouds. They rejoice that the clouds of water become heavy and descend as they ascended with the heat in it, for the smaller one seeks the greater. If the heaviness depends on the air, then the air compresses and takes down, so he rubs the face of the earth, and the heat in the air strengthens, so he seeks the air with its strong heat. The ascent seeks the greater pillar, and the clouds accumulated. It prevented him from ascending because of its condensation, so it kindled the air, so God created in that flame an angel that he called Barq, and with it the atmosphere lit up. It was extinguished by the force of the wind as a lamp goes out, and its light disappeared with the remainder of his eye, and it ceased to be lightning, and the eye remained as a universe glorifying God. As long as the lightning is not a storm, then every lightning is according to what we mentioned, thunder must follow it, because the air ascends with a flame, so He creates an angel who calls it lightning, and after this it cracks beneath the clouds, so God creates thunder, glorifying the praises of His Lord for what He created. Then there are lightnings, and they are angels that God creates in the summertime, from the heat of the air to the rising sun, so the solar rays descend, and if the corner of the ether is burned, the heat increases, and the atmosphere ignites from above and then clouds, because the heat power softens the vapors rising from its density, so the clouds do not show an eye. The letter of the outbreak, so God created from that ignition a wonderful lightning that does not have thunder in the first place. The vapor of formation is a lesson for you if you have sight, so it is permissible to look at this at the formation of the world from the merciful soul, which is apparent from God s love for his creation to know him. There is nothing in the world or what is the world except the words of God and the words of God His command and command are one and it is as the blink of an eye or it is closer because it is then faster Whoever glimpses the eye, it is the time of his memorization. It is the time of his adherence to the end of what he can end up with in attachment, as well as the power of hearing without that. So, my brother, reflect on the word of God and this dear Qur an and the details of its verses and a surah. And limit the number. See how the matter is, for if you knew it, you would know the word Al-Hadra, and if you knew the word Al-Hadara, you would know its specificity from the words with the word Be for everything with the difference of what appeared and from the apparent letters with Kaf and Nun and from the hidden letters |
