Page 513 - from Volume Two (Display Image)God is not to be blamed for what preceded them in taking care of them in eternity, so he permitted to them what is forbidden to others and the rest of those who do not have this position have no knowledge of it, so he is judged to have committed sins while he is not disobedient according to the text of the words of God conveyed through the tongue of the Messenger of God, may God s prayers and peace be upon him And like the people of the House, when God removed impurity from them, and there is no impurity, the most impurity of disobedience, and purified them with a thorough purification. From them of purification and removal of uncleanliness, it is attributed to them in terms of the belief that ascribes it because it is an abomination in relation to him, and that same act the ruling of uncleanness is removed from it in the case of the members of the household, so the image is the same in both of them, and the ruling is different. What comes from them in terms of what actions are, not in terms of what they are doomed to such or such, and that is in the presence of pure light from which the people of speech say, all actions of God are good, and there is no doer but God, there is no action except for God, and under this presence there are two presences of predestination and the presence of pure darkness and in the presence of The veil appeared, and the word was divided into words, distinguishing good from evil, and the presence of darkness is the presence of evil with which there is no good, and it is polytheism and the action that necessitates eternity in the fire and not to leave it and to be blessed in it. They knew that it comes from them, and they abstained from the rulings that necessitate distance and proximity, so they did acts of obedience and fell into transgressions, all without the intention of proximity or violation of sanctity. I saw one of them except that I saw the presence of the light and the ruling of the matter in it except that there was no judgment for that witnessing over us, rather God established me in the presence of the front door and preserved me and preserved me. The courtyard of sin as for the second type of annihilation, it is the annihilation of the actions of the servants by God s establishment of thatFrom his saying: So who is he who is in charge of every soul for what it has earned? They see the action of God from behind the veils of the universes in which the acts appear, and it is God s saying, Indeed, your Lord is vast in forgiveness, and He is all-encompassing of all of them. The actions of the servants are creations of God that they feel, but they do not bear witness to the veil of gain by which God blinds their insight as He blinded the insight of the one who sees the actions of the creation when God stops him with what he sees with his sight. as for the third type, it is the annihilation of the attributes of creatures God Almighty says in the narration narrated by the Prophet about him: I was his hearing and his sight Likewise, all His attributes, hearing, sight, and other aspects of the attributes that belong to a servant or creation, say how you wish, and know the truth that Himself is the essence of their attributes, not His attribute. You have nothing but your sight, and it is the eye of your sight, and none but himself has seen it, and by this he saved you from seeing it, an annihilation, a reality, a witness, a known and verified fact. With witnesses, no revelation, no vision, despite the fact that he witnesses, reveals and sees, and the owner of this annihilation increases over every scene behind and reveals that he sees the truth as he sees himself, because you saw it in it, not in you. And himself and affirmed for himself an attribute that is not the same as the truth that he knew, so he has no news of what he said, and he does not know who witnessed or what he witnessed. He knew and taught other than what he estimated, distinguished and distinguished between these lineages, and claimed that he was the owner of this type From the annihilation, he is not, and if the eye is united with him, and he hears what is in him, sees what is in it, speaks with what he knows, seeks, smells, tastes, feels, and his perception does not differ according to the different ruling, then he is the owner of this annihilation in taste and correct condition. And as for the fourth type of annihilation, it is the annihilation of yourself The realization of this is that you know that your Self is composed of gentle and dense, and that each of you has a reality and conditions in which it contradicts the other, and that your kindness is diverse in forms with |
