Page 231 - from Volume One (Display Image)The name is upon the servant, and if the truth calls it upon him, then that is to Him, the Most High. God told about His Prophet, may God s prayers and peace be upon him, what he must say and utter, so the Almighty made it a Qur an to be recited, as this was one of the characteristics of slaves in the same matter. And if he is a command, then he is one of those who are witnesses to his righteousness, then we know that God took care of him and told us that God takes care of the righteous. By prayer and almsgiving as long as I am alive and to honor my mother, and He has not made me tyrannical and wretched, and peace be upon me, the day I was born, he says, To Him belongs those Messengers, and we have preferred some of them over others, that is, so is you, and it was from His grace that you attain such a position. By virtue of acting on her behalf, she will be like the name of the Messenger, and she does not share the right to give you one of his names with that meaning. ( Chapter thirty-ninth on knowing the house to which the guardian descends if God Almighty expels him from his neighbourhood )If the guardian descends, it is only *** ascending and ascending in height The truth is not restricted in it *** In Ain al-Nawa is the eye of the close So the Mujtaba is in any case *** Exaltedness in highness in highness There is no ruling on it in every way *** and there is no influence on it for highness [ Commission, Sin, Punishment ]Know that God supported you with a spirit from him that God Almighty says to Iblis: Prostrate to Adam, so the command appeared in him, and he said to Adam and Eve, Do not approach this tree. So the prohibition appeared in them, and the assignment is divided between command and prohibition, and they are assumed to be obligatory until you remove them from the position of obligation, a presumption of the case. And this is the first command that appeared in the natural world and the first prohibition, and we have informed you that the first mind and that all the first things are only divine, and that is why it is true and never wrong, and its owner is definitive by it, so his authority is strong. The strength of the first, which is the commands that came to us on the tongues of the messengers, and it is of two parts: either seconds, and it is what God casts to His Prophet within himself without the intermediary of the king, so the divine command reaches us. By its rulings in his judgment, or by that command the king descends upon him, then the divine command has passed on two presences from the universe, Gabriel and any king and any prophet he was, then his action and his effect on power is without the first and second, so the accusation did not take place. As for respite to the Hereafter, or forgiveness, he will never be held accountable for that, and God did that as a mercy to His servants, just as He, Most High, singled out the prohibition for Adam and Eve. It includes an existential command, which is to do. It is as if he was told to go out of your way. The matter is more difficult for the soul than the prohibition, as it was mandated to depart from its origin. If Iblees did not disobey and did not prostrate, he did not say what he said of the arrogance and virtue that he attributed to himself over others, so he departed from his servitude to the extent of that, so it became permissible for him. God s punishment and the punishment was for Adam and Eve when they were charged with departing from their origin, which is to leave, which is a nihilistic command to eat, which is an existential matter. So God associated Satan, Adam and Eve in one pronoun, and it was the most severe punishment for Adam. So they were told: Go down with the collective pronoun. Falling down was not a punishment for Adam and Eve, but a punishment for Satan Adam descended because of the sincerity of the promise that he would place a caliph on the earth after he repented and accepted him and received words from his Lord with confession, so his confession is upon him. |
