Page 245 - from Volume Three (Display Image)And he witnessed it everything that was absent in the first house, and this generation inhabited the other house called Paradise from it, for he divided the other house into two houses, this is the one house and the other house called Hell. Tradition Whoever is from the people of this house is the abode of misery, knowing the intricacies of things, and with that ignorance enters the Fire, as he is one of its people, and it does not accept scholars. The imitator is the one who was ignorant of that scholar, so he seeks God s protection from that trait and sees its ugliness, and thanks God for the blessing that He bestowed upon him by what He has clothed him with and bestowed upon him the knowledge of that scholar who is one of the people of Hellfire. He says to herself, He says, Would that we would be rejected and not belie the verses of our Lord, and that we would be among the believers because of their knowledge, if they were believers, even if they were ignorant that if they moved to the abode of happiness, the clothes of ignorance would be taken off from them and the knowledge would be taken off them, so they do not care. Because they were ignorant in this world for a good outcome, and they did not know that if they were returned to this world in the upbringing they were in, they would have returned to its rule, for action by virtue does not change. And God did not make in this worldly upbringing the scholars forget about something in what they had already known, and they know that they had known a matter, so they sought to recall it, but they did not find it after what they were aware of, except as a flag and a warning that He is over all things capable of taking away from them the knowledge of what they were aware of. They will enter Hell-fire. He entrusts his mercy to whomever he wills, which is the saying of the Most High: Say: O God, the owner of the kingdom, you give the kingdom to whomever you will, and any king is greater than knowledge, which is what he gave of the believer, the ignorant, imitator, and the believer in the hereafter better than the world of the hereafter. of the people of Hellfire, and you honor whomever you will with that knowledge, and you humiliate whomever you will by taking that knowledge from him. When I knew that God commissioned me *** I knew that I was responsible and intended And I will forever worship him *** in this world and in the hereafter, and the truth is the object of worship And nothing of His creation has manifested itself *** except that it bears witness that the truth is witnessed Whoever sees his image and not his reality *** the matter and the matter is present and missing Because with the eyes of the face we see it *** and we are all his face and the face is limited He is Existence, and whoever is in the universe is His image *** Then there is none but the Most Merciful Existent The house is the house, the house is the house that sustains it *** the house of the gentle, what in the universe is an abstraction And if it were not that the facts give that money is for mercy in the other abode, then mercy on him is a meaning and a feeling. They are not owners of pain, nor do they live, i.e., they have no bliss like the bliss of the people of Paradise, which is something more than their being saved from the abode of misery. In your heart there is a flame that does not extinguish it *** except that which by witnessing the senses ignites it I fear for the honorable of the honor *** who passes over my heart, he will warn him If the person with disabilities comes asking for him *** then he will be vindicated by witnessing the situation And he does not restore his grace to my heart *** except that which was revealed before today [ Knowledge is happiness ]And know that whoever claims today that knowledge is happiness, then he is truthful that knowledge is happiness, and with it I say, but he missed what the people of unveiling realized, which is that if God wanted the misery of the servant, he removed knowledge from him, because knowledge was not his subjective, but rather he acquired it. The essence of extracting knowledge is ignorance, and nothing remains of knowledge except the knowledge that knowledge has been taken away from him. |
