Page 181 - from Volume One (Display Image)Oh my God, my master, and my dependence *** We only fell in love with it for its meaning Inform us of what you want from us *** in the Messenger's tongue from the highest So we spent our days in pleasure *** with you, my lord, how sweet it is He said: They returned to him the abode of his desires *** The soul is true that he loves it So we returned immortally drunk *** always looking forward to its dwelling And he built it on the moderation of its powers *** and it manifested itself to it with its strengths [ Malamiya or the place of the village in the state ]Know, may God help you, that this section includes the mention of the servants of God who are called blameworthy, and they are the men who have been freed from guardianship in its highest degree and above them except the degree of prophethood . He protected them and imprisoned them in the tents of safeguarding divine jealousy in the corners of the universe that an eye could reach them and occupy them. Habits and acts of worship are visible actions and persistence in obligatory and supererogatory actions, so they are not known to break a habit, so they are not venerated, nor are they referred to as the righteousness that is in the custom of the common people, even though they do not have corruption. [ The most honored of the saints with God ]The Messenger of God, may God s prayers and peace be upon him, said on the authority of his Lord, the Mighty and Sublime, The most venerable of my friends to me is for a believer who is light-minded, who has good fortune in prayer, who worships his Lord and obeys Him in secret and openly, and he is mysterious among people. He wants that they are not known among the people by major acts of worship and do not violate taboos secretly and openly. He does not see with us in the mirror of truth if he manifests himself and his station, which is a universe of universes and the universe in the light of truth is darkness, so only its blackness is witnessed, for the face of a thing is its reality and its essence, and the manifestation does not last except for this group in particular, they are with the truth in the world and the hereafter as it is We mentioned it from the permanence of manifestation, and they are individuals. But if he intended by blackening the sovereignty and wanted by the face the reality of man, that is, he has sovereignty in this world and the hereafter, then it is possible and this is only for the messengers in particular, as it is as they have and it is in the guardians, because the messengers are forced to appear for the sake of legislation and the guardians do not have that. [ Perfection or the return of the soul to God ]Do you not see that God, Glory be to Him, did not complete the religion, how He commanded it in the surah in which God mourned Himself, so He revealed it to him. When the scholar completed what I wanted from him of conveying the message, he asked for forgiveness to conceal him from his creation in a veil of protection so that he would always be alone without his creation, for he was in the time of conveying and guiding and his preoccupation with carrying out the message, for he had a time in which only his Lord and his other times were commanded to look into the affairs of creation He brought him back to that one time that he was stealing from the times of his preoccupation with creation, even if it was about the matter of the truth, then he said that he was repentant, that is, the truth returns to you with an accompanying return, in which creation with you does not have any interference in any way and When the Messenger of God, may God s prayers and peace be upon him, recited this surah, Abu Bakr al-Siddiq, may God be pleased with him, cried alone without anyone in that gathering, and he knew that God Almighty had mourned to the Messenger of God, may God s prayers and peace be upon him, himself, and he was the most knowledgeable of people about it. the reason for that [ appearing or acting in the universe ]And the great guardians, if they left themselves, none of them chose to appear in the first place because they knew that God did not create them for them, nor for any of his creation by attachment from the first intention, but He created them for Him, Glory be to Him, so they occupied themselves with what they were created for. Glory be to Him, what they have in it to act, and if He conceals them, He does not place a measure for them in people s hearts that they glorify for His sake, then that is to Him, the Most High. to show houses |
