Page 251 - from Volume Three (Display Image)The servant is only by faith, for he has the shining light, rather it is the shining light that removes all darkness. ? [ God did not create creation in one mood ]And know that if you are not of this stature, and you do not have a foot in this rank, then I will guide you to what will happen to you in the highest rank, which is that you know that God did not create creation according to one temperament, but rather made it of varying temperaments. And it has happened to you from the path of truth that a person is the mirror of his brother and he sees in him what a person does not see of himself except through the mediation of his likeness. good [ Indeed, the messengers are the fairest of people in the mood for their acceptance of the messages of their Lord .]And know that the mirrors are of different shapes and that they become visible to the beholder according to their shape, such as length, width, flatness, crookedness, roundness, deficiency, increase, multiplicity, and everything that gives them the shape of that mirror. His temperament is of composition, so there is no prophet except that he was sent specifically to a specific people because he was in a special and restricted temperament, and Muhammad, may God s prayers and peace be upon him, was not sent by God except with a general message to all people, and he did not accept such a message except because he was in a general temperament that contains the temperament of every prophet and messenger He is the fairest and most perfect of temperaments, and the most upright of upbringing. If you know this and you want to see the truth in the most perfect way that it should appear to this human upbringing, then know that you are not in the same mood as Muhammad, may God s prayers and peace be upon him, and that the truth, no matter how much it appears to you in the mirror of your heart, you only show it to you. Your mirror is in proportion to its mood and the image of its form, and you know that you have fallen from the degree that was true of Muhammad, may God s prayers and peace be upon him, in knowledge of his Lord in his upbringing. It appears to Muhammad, may God s prayers and peace be upon him, in his mirror, and I have informed you that the mirror has an effect on the beholder of the seer in the visible, so the appearance of the truth in the mirror of Muhammad, may God s prayers and peace be upon him, will be the most complete, just, and most beautiful appearance of what is his mirror upon him. You did not comprehend it from the point of view in your mirror. Do you not see in the section of faith and what came in the message of the matters that attributed the truth to itself in the language of the law, which the minds refer to, and if it were not for the Sharia and belief in it, we would not have accepted anything from that in terms of our rational view at all. He gave him by message and faith what the unbelief minds failed to comprehend that from the side of truth. Likewise, our moods and mirrors of our minds upon viewing have failed to comprehend what was manifested in the mirror of Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace, to perceive it in their mirror, and as I believed in it in the message in secret, which I witnessed in this prophetic transfiguration with my own eyes. If it weren't for him and without us *** what they were would not have been And there were no messages *** from the Most Merciful, Mawlana With news and provisions *** and this was called a clarification And the Torah and the Gospel *** and the Criterion and the Qur an And the people of understanding called it *** with ideas as proof And a third of that is Islam ***, faith and charity Glory be to the one who was captured *** by him to see him benevolent He singled out the image of the Most Merciful *** who called him a human being And his messengers came to see *** in giraffes and alone And he gave us and loved us *** here is what he wants to conceal Gardens and rivers *** and a soul and then a wind They revealed, then testified, and secrets and revelations |
