Page 223 - from Volume Three (Display Image)He is his constant companion, and he is the one whom his Lord has praised and attached to those who are always in their prayers. And when God explained the prayer, he did not explain it except by remembrance, which is the recitation. He said: The servant says, Praise be to God, Lord of the Worlds. Almighty, so remember Me, I will remember you If you recite the Book of God, you will be with it *** from those who sit with him and those who talk to him Prayer is nothing but the wise remembrance, so whoever recites it prays while it contains some of what is in it Because of the opening of the Qur an, I told you *** that it contains and my remembrance does not contain it Praise is the obligation of the worshiper in his recitation *** and not every worshiper knows it Arrived the voluntary return to God for which the servant is thankfulThe Almighty said, and to Him the whole matter is returned. If you know this, then return to Him voluntarily and do not return to Him under compulsion, for it is imperative that you return to Him, and you must meet Him unwillingly or loving, for He meets you in a capacity that does not exceed it, so see for yourself, O Guardian. He, may God s prayers and peace be upon him, said, Whoever loves to meet God, God loves to meet him, and whoever hates to meet God, God hates to meet him. And he told us about the revelation of the divine news that was uttered in awe in a special way, so we were told that he who was ashamed of meeting God, God made him forget him and removed his shyness. O My servant, that was by my decree and my destiny, for you are the subject of the flow of my judgment, so the servant will be at ease with this saying. He, may God bless him and grant him peace, said, modesty is all good He said, modesty only brings good What good is greater than this good to establish the truth of the servant s argument, forgetting him and simplifying him and removing shame and exaltation and glory. Glory be to the Gentle, the All-Knowing, the Beneficent, the Merciful. He has his own people, and we know that meeting God does not happen except with death. So we met, and we had the rule of one who meets him, loving to meet him, so if death comes known to the public and the covering of this body is revealed to us, our condition has not changed and we have not increased our certainty to what we were upon. the great win Ali, may God be pleased with him, said: If the cover was revealed, I would not increase in certainty Whoever returns to God this return is happy, and he did not feel the inevitable and compelling return, for he did not come to him except while he was there with God, so the death that is known to him is that his soul that is with God is transferred between it and the management of this body that it was managing, so it remains with the truth as it is and this body is transformed to its origin, which is the soil from which its soul originated, and it was a house from which its inhabitant departed, so the angel placed him in a seat of charity with him until the day they are resurrected, and his condition during his resurrection will not change in him as to his being with the truth, not in terms of what the truth gives him with breaths, and so on in the general assembly and in the gardens Which is his residence, his abode, and in the upbringing in which he descends, so he sees the upbringing of a created being without an example. This upbringing gives him in its outward appearance what the upbringing of this world gives him in its interior and its imagination. Therefore, according to this ruling, the apparent behavior of the emergence of the Hereafter is that he enjoys all his possessions in one soul and does not lose anything from his possession of spouses. He is not always in them and does not lose them. He is in them so that he desires and they are in him so that they desire, for it is the abode of rapid emotion with no slowness in it, like the interior of this worldly upbringing in the thoughts that have the same. In the Hereafter, man is inverted upbringing. As inwardly here, He, the Most High, said, Which of the upturned will they be overturned? The return mentioned in this link is what is the return of repentance, for that is why the repentance called repentance is a specific one according to the scholars of drawings and among us. |
