Page 179 - from Volume Four (Display Image)The thirty-fifth chapter on knowing the condition of Qutb, his house was his saying, praise be to Him, and His names are sanctified, those who remember God standing, sitting, and on their sides.Those who remember every condition of their Lord *** are the people of every virtue in the world They bear witness only to Him in their own eyes *** they are the kings of perpetual existence They did the right of God, not their rights *** while lying down, sitting or standing They attained perfection, and only them *** this position of the ruling machine For them to reflect on the connection of His description *** to their existence and the existence of the whole world [ Engenesis by ego ]Know that God supported us and you with a spirit from Him that the origin of creation is a state of slumber so that the truth will be established, either for sitting and obtaining a share of mercy. He the Most High said, And you were dead, then He brought you back to life, or for the resurrection, which obtains a share of the verse of the Almighty s saying. The Throne is He straightened, and God said, There is no god but He, the Living, the Eternal. I asked him about that, and he said, It is permissible to adopt it, meaning by the name Al-Qayyum. Then he was forbidden to do that. He was the most kind to his companions and followers in his village because he was a Mu'tazilite until the matter was revealed to him. Instead, he put him down in his place and did not exceed his rank with him and thanked me for that and returned for his return to all his companions and followers, and at that time I left him. What you used to be. This is the general dhikr that pervades all conditions, and the singular dhikr remains. So the Qa im, the Most Merciful, was mentioned on the throne, and the Resurrected said, Are you safe from those in the heavens? I watched the Most Merciful over the throne, and if you wished, I watched whether you were safe from the heavens and His being. In the sky he says, Is there anyone who repents, is there anyone who seeks forgiveness, is there anyone who calls out? And if you wish, I will watch, and He is God in the heavens and on the earth, He knows your secrets and your appearances. Also, we reverse the matter and become so that He is, so that we are so that we are, and there is none but Him Be in the best of divinities that make you happy *** and in the most perfect cases guide you And be in the situation, not in the word of it *** Be in the judgment of the one who judges and intends This amount of nodding is a divine advice to the one who has a heart or gives ear while he is a witness, and God speaks the truth and He guides the way. The thirty-sixth chapter five hundred on knowing the condition of Qutb, who deserted him, and whoever wanted to plow the world, he will be rewarded with it, and he will have no share in the Hereafter.Plowing is praiseworthy and blameworthy plows *** and you are plowing and the sustenance is divided Do not plow for a world, you leave it *** If you plow for it, you are blameworthy Do not plow for what perishes, for you are not his *** and plow for the rest, for the matter is understandable |
