[ The noun alone refers to everything, even though it is a divine epithet .]

Know that the name Al-Ahad refers to everything from an angel, an ark, a planet, a nature, an element, a metal, a plant, an animal, and a human being, even though it is a divine epithet in his saying, He is God, the One, and he made it a universal adjective in his saying, and he does not associate anyone with the worship of his Lord with any of those we mentioned. There is nothing but God, and we have enumerated them except that people have been worshiped among them, so some of them are from the servants of angels, and among them are from the servants of planets, and among them are from the servants of the angels, and among them are from the servants of elements, and among them are from the servants of stones, and among them are from the servants of trees, and among them are from the servants of animals, and among them are the servants of the jinn and men.

[ The sincere in the worship that is subjective to him is that he does not intend it except for the one who created it ]

So the sincere in the worship that is subjective to him is that he intends only to the one who created him and created him, which is God Almighty, so this worship is pure for him and does not treat anyone of those we have mentioned with it, that is, he does not see him in anything of what we have mentioned, neither in terms of the specificity of that thing nor in terms of attributing oneness to it. For the beholder also has oneness, so let him worship himself, for he is more deserving of him, and he does not humiliate anyone like him, because he must be humiliated for other than the oneness of his Creator, so he will be higher in determination than the one who humiliates a creature like him.

[ There is no creature that does not have the same claim to God .]

There is nothing of the creatures that does not have the same claim to God for what is about him in the universe of benefits and harm. Existences of his caliphate How can he lack to drink a medicine that he hates, of course, because of his knowledge of the benefit that it contains for him, then he worshiped him from where he does not feel hate, and if it is one of the medicines that delight the mood of this patient, and he knows that using it benefits him, he worshiped him from where he does not feel willingly and love, and so God said, and to God prostrate from in the heavens and the earth, willingly and unwillingly, and take all existence as I have made clear to you.

[ The lack of bringing benefits and the need to repel harm leads weak souls to worship things ]

For there is nothing in the universe that does not involve harm and benefit. So, by this divine attribute, He brings the souls of those in need of Him due to their lack of benefit and the repelling of harm. This leads them to worship things even if they are not aware, but being forced to do so belies them in that, for man lacks the most insignificant and inferior things in existence, which is the place of seclusion. When needed, he abandons the worship of his Lord. Rather, it is not permissible for him in Sharia to perform it while he is injecting, so he hastens to be alone, especially if the need for him is excessive and compelling, so that his mind goes what he believes when he finds a way to him. It is as if he never needed what he needed, and he disbelieved in his grace, scorned him, and reviled him

[ Pure religion is the religion extracted from the hands of the lordship of universes ]

And when God knew what He deposited in His creation and what He placed in the two weighty things of the need for what God deposited in existing things and in people for one another, He said, So whoever hopes for the meeting with his Lord, let him do a righteous deed, that is, he is not tainted by corruption, and he is not humiliated by anything other than you. We worship Him sincerely in religion, and he said, Does not God have the pure religion, and it is the religion that is extracted from the hands of the lordship of the universes, and if he sees nothing but God and that He is the Creator of the causes of harm and benefits, he resorts to God in repelling what harms him and obtaining what benefits him without specifying a reason. This is the meaning of sincerity.

[ The sincere- by opening the lam- and the sincere- by breaking the lam- ]

And the existence of sincerity is not valid except from those who are sincere with the conquest of blame, for if God takes care of them, He will extract them from the lordship of the reasons we mentioned. They were reprimanded for this and were warned by his saying, rather, God is kind to you that He has guided you to faith, if you are truthful in your claim that you are believers. He stripped them of this quality to have gain

[ The wise person should not be safe from God s deception in His bounties .]

So the wise person should not be safe from God s cunning in his blessings, for the cunning in it is more hidden than the affliction and the lowest cunning in it is that he sees himself deserving of that blessing and that it was created for him, God does not need it. In the ignorant, the ignorant, as we explained earlier that things were created for Him, the Most High, to glorify Him, and our benefit from them was by virtue of dependence, not by first intention. So the whole world began to glorify Him with His praise and worship, and He called the Heaviest to that, and he knew that for that He created them neither for themselves nor for any of the creatures along with what is in it. Existence from the occurrence of benefit from each other and

The Almighty said in the authentic strange hadith: Whoever does a deed in which someone else has involved me, then I am innocent of it, and it is for the one who committed shirk.

So he asked of his servants the sincerity of the work for him, and some of them are the most sincere for him in one sentence, so he did not associate him in the work by virtue of the intention, so he intended only God, and I do not involve the work itself that he who worked, rather his work was created for God, the first is general and the second is specific, and it is the ultimate sincerity, and sincerity is not valid except with the work I mean in work, it must be something that is extracted
