Page 677 - from Volume Two (Display Image)From its amazing effects in its movements, so they knew from them the fixed and the reversible, and the two bodies and other things, and to the atlas astronomy, the knowledge of the meteorologists ends. And in fact, it only ends with the planet. Orbits are for planets, but they only knew that these orbits do not cut off except in an existential matter that is cosmic like them. Perhaps this planetary ark cuts through nothing, and the wise did not prevent that above the atlas ark other orbits, except that the observer did not reach it because there is no evidence for it, but it is in the ruling of permissibility in their view, but they said that if there is an astronomy, it must have a soul Reason, however, must be completed, and from this astronomy a dispute occurred between us and the wise philosophers in the order of formation and what we disputed about the Atlas, which is the throne and the throne, and they said that it is permissible in it. After this in it and in other heavens in it, the movement of what we have mentioned of these four existing spheres in which nature was perfected and its authority appeared in sense after what was intelligible, for meanings are the origin of things. It is, however, transformed in every presence according to it, like a chameleon accepting the colors that are on it, so the first thing that created the earth, which is the end of the void, and it is the most dense and the injustice, and it descends until now always, and the void has no end, for it is an illusory extension, not in a body. A quest for knowledge and its center is the one on which its affair is settled, so it does not have a request after that, and this is not an object, so its descent to the request is permanent and continuous, and it is expressed in the request for the truth. Only this is true, and whoever does not love that manifestation, which is called beauty, and beauty is adored for its own sake. If there is then a matter that ends to it called the center, to it is the end for the world to dwell on one another by necessity, and the movement is nullified. Proximity is the same, so the witnesses imagine that the earth is still around the center, then creates the corner of water, which was the first of the pillars, but we mentioned the earth as an introduction to the lower, and water was the first of the elements. The origin of the elements we have is water, and we agreed on that some of the people of the viewers in this art, but our basis for disclosure is in what we claim of this and other sciences. There are six madhhabs, five of them are wrong and one of them is right, and he is the one who agreed with the revelation and the divine definition of the people of his speech, from an angel, a prophet, and a guardian. Its duration, all of it has a known period. We call it, I mean, the sentence is the age of the world. If the periods expire, the matter returns to its original state of permanence, so there is no non-existence of it ever in terms of its essence, and no form remains ever for two times. no Repetition in it. If you had seen it, you would have seen a great matter whose appearance horrifies you and inherits you from fear for your essence. And if it were not for what God supports, the people of revelation with knowledge would have wandered in fear. When the elements, which are the four pillars, reached a place prepared for the feminine to accept procreation and childbirth, and the burnings appeared from the element of fire in the moisture of air and water, smoke rose from it seeking the greatest He who is the highest and farthest ark, then he found the orbit of the planets preventing him from ascending to the higher ark, so that smoke returned, some of it rippling into some of the piles of a group |
