Chapter: | On knowing the abode of the mudd (a measure) and its half, from the Mohammedan presence. |
Page 101 - from Volume Three (Display Image)It and Al-Anfal are one surah divided by truth into two chapters. If it is separated and judged by separation, he called it Surat al-Tawbah, meaning Surat al-Rij al-Dahiyyah with mercy on those who were angry with him. So it is not eternal anger, but it is anger that lasts. And God is the repentant. The period is in anger, and its ruling in it is for a term, so he returns to him after the period with mercy, so look at the name by which he called the repentant, you will find his ruling as we mentioned it and the Qur an is comprehensive to mention the one who was pleased with him and angry with him and crowning his homes with the Most Merciful and the Compassionate and the ruling for coronation, because it is accepted and with it he knows that it is from God this is news It comes to us while we witness, hear, and reason. Praise be to God for that. By God, I did not say or judge except by blowing into awe of the spirit of my God, the sanctified, whose inner knowledge was hidden from the apparent, for the difference between the mandate and the mission, and the guardianship has its primary, then it withdraws, proves, and does not disappear. Some people reach it and some people do not reach it, but today no one reaches the degree of prophecy, the prophecy of legislation because its door is closed, and the state does not rise in the world or the hereafter. His names are the guardian, and none of his names is a prophet or a messenger, so this is why the prophethood and the message are cut off because it has no basis in the divine names and the guardianship has not been cut off, for the name of the guardian preserves it. The creation of the perfect human being, so he combined the estimation, which is general, and the creation, which is specific, such as his saying, and he blows into it, and it becomes a bird with my permission, so he is the best of creators in estimation and creation. And the truth has existence in its own eyes. He did not say that the best of creators is except by predestination, not creation, and among the people of God are those who see that, but do not see that in existence but God and the provisions of the most visible potentials in the very essence of His existence. The saying of the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, Whoever knows himself knows his Lord Whoever knows himself that his own eye is still in its possibility knows his Lord that he is present in existence, and whoever knows that the apparent changes in existence are the provisions of the preparations of the possible knows his Lord that he is the eye of their appearance and people. The other end is like the circumference of the circle and the creation of the world between these two extremes in levels and circles, so he called the ocean a throne and called the point the earth, and what is between them are circles of pillars and spheres He made it a place for people of different types of what He created from the world. The Throne has settled and the specific manifestation is what each person has of the knowledge of God. With this manifestation, there is entry, exit, descent, ascent, movement, stillness, meeting, separation, transcendence, and whoever is such that his place and the world distinguish one from another in place, position, image and presentation. He is with every existing thing as it was in the apparent form ascribed to that existing thing. All of this is known by the scholars of God through witnesses and existence. He is manifested and made the unseen the eye of the veil over him, so he is a testimony to the veil, not to the veiled. Either by image or by witnessing himself, for God has blessed him with witnessing himself, then he knows it, so he knows his Lord without a doubt, so he is one of the people of the hearts whom God blinded by his witnesses from their witnesses, as he said. In the roses of the divine power that God gave him, from all of the two sciences and appeared in the two images, he is one of the people of knowledge of the unseen and the testimony, and he is all-knowing of everything arrivedFrom this house, the rule of the divine name is the inheritor, and they are an amazing ruling because it penetrates into the heavens and the earth and its influence |
