Chapter: | On knowing the state of a Pole whose abode was ﴾Allah is the curator of those who believe, He takes them out of darkness into light﴿. |
Page 146 - from Volume Four (Display Image)This abode is a manifestation of the mountain of Moses, peace be upon him, but it does not make it a dust, and the reason for that perseverance in this remembrance is that the servant inherits strength and that strength from the fact that the remembrance is still remembering God, and God is the companion of those who remember him, and if he does not feel it, the first thing God opens to every rememberer in himself is knowing who remembers God By it, the one who remembers from him does not see God except for the identity of the truth, then in his hearing his remembrance He also testifies that no one hears the remembrance of God from him except God. God is beautiful and loves beauty It is imperative that God clothe the interior of this servant with beauty so that it does not appear to him except out of love for what appears in him of the special beauty that is restricted to him, which cannot appear that beauty except in this special place, for every place has a beauty that belongs to him, which is not for anyone else, and God does not look at the world Except after he beautifies it and straightens it, so that his acceptance of what he responds to in his manifestation is in proportion to the beauty of his preparation, so that transfiguration will clothe him with beauty into beauty, so he remains in a new beauty in every son, just as he remains in a new creation in himself. His insight covers his blindness [ God has determined that we should not go beyond the legal limits ]And know that the limits set in the world, I mean the legal limits that the Truth commanded us not to transgress, then He legislated for us limits that will be established for us if we transgress them. Then he knew something originally, and he distinguished us, us, and us as we distinguished him, him, and him, so we knew who we are and who he is. I am the one I love and the one I love It suffices him from the strength of the effect of the hudud. If he differentiates between me and the one whom he desires, even if he loves himself, then his condition is that he loves, and he is the doer. What is the specific state of his love, and he is the effect. So the hudud clarified the conditions as the notables made clear. That is possible in the first place, and in the field of knowledge of God, the most important thing that is in oneness is that the existence of the world is the same as the existence of the truth and no other. The truth, the existents and the intelligibles are different, and God cursed on the tongue of the Messenger of God, may God s prayers and peace be upon him, without the illuminator of the earth, which is the boundary. Like him not the same The limitation accompanies all that is in knowledge *** and the limitation is accompanied by specificity in looking the Condition of Qutb, whose house was God, the Guardian of those who believed, He brings them out of darkness into light .If it were not for the guardianship, I would be in the darkness *** So the Most Merciful appointed me to the movements So I came out of it seeking the light in which you gathered me and the eyes of my scattering And I saw my life that I strive for *** and I knew my affairs in it after my death And I saw in man every virtue *** and knowledge is most perfect in him in degrees So I added to faith a knowledge of what *** in him existed without attributes And the names appeared to me behind his veil *** and I witnessed them revealing the eyes of my features Care has shone its lights *** So I've been striving for lights all my life Were it not for the presence of light in our eyes *** and our hearts, I would strive in the darkness God is the Greatest and the Great is my beginning *** as long as this world lasts and after my death The caliphate is not perfect *** except here, not in what is to come And half of its existence will vanish in Paradise due to the removal of rulings in the graves When I saw the general mercy of Himself *** in the other generation and I did not see him coming |
