Page 280 - from Volume One (Display Image)So they proved to him knowledge, Glory be to Him, even though they were not believers, and they intended to exalt Him, Glory be to Him, in that. And works with piety [ The revelation of the book to the prophets and the revelation of understanding to the hearts of the saints ]Just as the origin of the revelation of the Book from God to His prophets was the revelation of understanding from God to the hearts of some of the believers in Him. A revelation from the Wise, the Praiseworthy, and he said in it that falsehood does not come to it from before it or from behind it. So its explanation will also be a revelation from God on the hearts of God s people, as was the original and so on Ali bin Abi Talib, may God be pleased with him, said in this chapter, it is nothing but an understanding that God gives to whomever He wills of His servants in this Qur an. So he made that a gift from God that expresses that giving with understanding from God, so the people of God are more deserving of it than others [ The state in the life of the world for the people of the apparent from the scholars of drawings ]When the people of God saw that God had made the state in the worldly life for the people of the apparent from the scholars of drawings and gave them control over creation with what they issued their fatwas and attached to them those who know the outward of the life of this world and they are unaware of the hereafter they are negligent God forgives them in his denial Their conditions are because they knew from where they spoke and protected themselves from them by calling the facts signs, for the graphic scholars do not deny the signs. You will see if the dust clears *** Is there a mare under you or a donkey Just as the investigator from among the people of God is distinguished from the one who claims eligibility tomorrow on the Day of Resurrection, some of them said If tears fall into the cheeks of *** it becomes clear who wept from who wept Where is the world of graphics from The saying of Ali bin Abi Talib, may God be pleased with him, when he told about himself that if he had spoken in Al-Fatihah from the Qur an, he would have carried out of it seventy Qur an Is this except from the understanding that God gave in the Qur an, so the name of the jurist is more deserving of this group than the author of the science of drawings, for God says about them that they may understand the religion and that they may warn their people when they return to them, and He is the one who forbids him by forgiving the religion. The Messenger of God, may God s prayers and peace be upon him, supplicates on the basis of insight, not on the basis of a preponderance of conjecture, as the scholar of drawings judges. There is a difference between the one who gives fatwas regarding what he gives fatwas, and he says with insight from him in his supplication to God while he is on the evidence of his Lord, and the one who gives fatwas in the religion of God by his overconfidence. [ The knowledge taken from the dead and the knowledge taken from the living that does not die ]Moreover, it is the matter of the scholar of drawings in denouncing himself that he is ignorant of those who say, My Lord understands me and he sees that he is better than him and that he is the owner of knowledge when he says, He who is from the people of God, that God cast in his secret his intention with this judgment in this verse, or he says I saw the Messenger of God, peace and blessings of God be upon him. In my case, inform me of the authenticity of this narration that was narrated from him and according to his judgment. Abu Yazid Al-Bastami, may God be pleased with him, said in this regard and his authenticity, addressing the graphologists, you took your knowledge dead from the dead, and we took our knowledge about the living that does not die. He says like us, my heart told me about my Lord, and you say, So-and-so told me, and where is he? They said he died. On the authority of so-and-so and where is he. They said he died. Sheikh Abu Madyan, may God have mercy on him, if it was said to him, said so-and-so, on the authority of so-and-so, on the authority of so-and-so. He says, We do not want to eat fresh meat. Bring me tender meat that will raise the concerns of his companions. This is the saying of so-and-so. Al-Diny, that is, talk about your Lord and leave so-and-so and so-and-so, for those ate him with fresh meat, and the donor did not die, and he is closer to you than the jugular vein. [ The divine flood is permanent, and the glad tidings are part of the parts of prophecy .]And the divine abundance and the good tidings did not block its door, and it is one of the parts of prophecy, the path is clear, the door is open, and the work is legitimate, and God rushes to receive whoever comes to him seeking, and there is no secret meeting except that he is the fourth of them and he is with them wherever he is. You did not leave taking from him and talking with him and taking from others and do not take from him, so you will be the talk of the covenant of your Lord, the rain will be above your rank When the Messenger of God, may God s prayers and peace be upon him, appeared to him himself when he came down and fell from his head until water hit him. He was told about that and he said that it is a hadith of a covenant with his Lord. Teach us and alert [ Sufism s Signs in Explanation of the Book of God ]Then that you may know that our companions did not agree on what they came with in the explanation of the Book of God |
