Page 401 - from Volume Three (Display Image)A Messenger, so it was forbidden to him, and it was forbidden for him to deviate from the law of the Messenger. This man-made method that wisdom requires in one of the species did not appear except in the human type, especially for his creation in the image, so he finds in himself a divine power that calls him to legislate interests. That Messenger placed it for her and makes clear to them what was hidden from them from his message due to their lack of understanding. Until the Day of Resurrection, unless that best thing precedes him, so he goes ahead of his command, such as the prayer of Abu Bakr with the Messenger of God, may God s prayers and peace be upon him, and the prayer of Abd al-Rahman ibn Awf with the Messenger of God, may God s prayers and peace be upon him, when he came and he had missed a rak ah and advanced for the time s end. Then the Messenger of God, may God s prayers and peace be upon him, came and prayed So he prayed behind him and thanked them for what they had done, and said, Well done, and if not, the legislator decided the ruling of the mujtahid among the scholars of this nation. No ruling has been established for him. [ The scholars of God are on ranks in their acquisition of divine knowledge ]And know that the scholars of God are on levels in their acquisition of divine knowledge. Some of them are those who took knowledge of God from God, and they are the ones who were told, Know that He is one God. To them, it is the truth like His saying: Did they not consider the kingdom of the heavens and the earth, and what God created, and His saying, If there were gods in them, there would be no gods His saying, may God s prayers and peace be upon him, who knows himself knows his Lord And among them are those who took knowledge of God from piety of God, such as the Almighty s saying: If you fear God, He will make for you a difference, by which you will differentiate between God and the gods that the polytheists worshiped, and you will know what they worshiped from that, even though they know that they are stones, trees, planets, angels, people, and jinn, and they know the true worshipers who are named. What they were singled out from, and she and those who did not take him as a deity from her likeness in terms of limit and reality alike, and what is in these sects is higher than that which has knowledge of God over piety. This knowledge is a beginning and for this reason it is not restricted to except the knowledgeable believers who know that then one returns to him and leads to his witnesses. them, or it was said to them that He is God They rejected it, and it is necessary. When their efforts fell short and he gave them their view that no one sees the truth, like the philosopher and the Mu'tazilite, and if he knew, they would necessarily deny it in his manifestation to them. So the believer must give him the light of his faith what he gave to Moses, peace be upon him, in himself until he asked for a vision. When he sees his Lord, and if he manifests himself to an innovator, it is permissible for every innovator to see him if he wills, and it is permissible for him to manifest himself to him. If they know and believe, and the light of faith is spread over the ranks and stations, they teach it in revelation and existence and spread out over their souls, so they see their souls, so they know them, so they know their Lord, without doubt, knowledge and faith. What they have attained from God through descriptive knowledge, theoretical knowledge, and knowledge obtained from piety, and then they know what is perfect of these sciences and the most perfect. And all truthfulness is right, meaning that its meaning is right, even if it is commendable in general, by convention, blameworthy, with the restriction with which it is slandered. The truth has set me up in my witnesses *** in goodness and grace over my existence So I thanked him for him *** I want more deliciousness His goodness increased me in knowledge of God in proportion to existence To Him, Glory be to Him, the Most High, *** You see upon revelations and witnesses Only a heart knows God, like a full moon in the house of the Saud He rises to him coming from him *** between whites and blacks As for those who know God by way of narration, they do not know from God except what is reported by God s news about God in a book or the Sunnah. |
