Page 96 - from Volume Two (Display Image)![]() So he disobeyed God in his command, so God called him an unbeliever, for he combined disobedience and ignorance, and man claimed that he is the Most High, so this is why he was singled out in the discourse in his saying, And man is not mentioned. So we said annihilation. [ The divine action of every creature ]As for the action specific to each creation, it is to give him what each creation deserves from what the divine wisdom requires, which is his saying: He gave everything its creation, then guided it, i.e., it shows that the Almighty gave everything its creation so that he does not say any of the things has deficient me such and such. The deficiency that he imagines is a display of his ignorance of himself and his lack of faith. If he reached him, his saying gave everything its creation, for the creature does not know its perfection or what it lacks because it was created for others, not for itself, so the one who created it only created it for him, not for himself, so he gave him only what is fit to be He, the Most High, and the servant wants to be for himself and not for his Lord, so he says I want this and I lack such and such. If he knew that he was created for his Lord, he would have known that God created the creation in a perfect image that is suitable for his Lord. I seek refuge in God from being one of the ignorant. Knowledge is the beginning, the end and the intermediate, because it is the origin of the divine literature that the truth requested from His servants, and only those who know that are those who say, Our Lord, You encompass everything in mercy and knowledge. crash From the Divine Presence there are many names for which no judgment appears [ Every matter that appears in the world is to manifest the judgment of a divine name .]The Messenger of God, may God s prayers and peace be upon him, said: If you did not sin, God would bring a people who would sin and ask forgiveness and God would forgive them. He cautioned that every matter that occurs in the world is only to show the ruling of a divine name, and if this is the case, then there is no left in the possible. That his action in creation is said to be upon him in all its states (Question ninety-first) What is the meaning of the truth? The answer is all by following the commands of God and enforcing His words, and nothing else. It is specific to the divine laws, which are enacted from their enactment, as the Almighty said. He, peace and blessings of God be upon him, said: From the age of a good year, he will have its reward and the reward of those who act upon it [ Goodness is rewarded in and of itself, and the Shariah is manifest in the timing of the reward .]The good requires the reward in itself and the law indicates to the people the timing of that reward, as he said whoever came with goodness, so he has ten times its ideals. So we knew that the Truth, Glory be to Him, had delegated the right to follow His religion, so He said to His successors: Govern according to what this trustee s command requires, and do not follow whims, which is the will of souls that are contrary to the rule of the right entrusted to follow the lawful divine words. Creatures with the help of the caliphs and God is the guide (Question ninety-second) And what is its fruit, that is, among the caliphs who ruled it The answer is always standing with worship, this is its fruit, but the plagues of Godliness prevent the emergence of this fruit, especially in humans, but it has another fruit beside this fruit, which is that the truth is his hearing, his sight and all his powers. Its fruit that he works on and it has the most sane of the people of God, so their desires are prepared by mere determination, so some of them will achieve that in this world, and among them are those who will be saved for that until the Day of Resurrection. [ eternal resting place ]If the arrogant men with their knowledge of what they were created for, if they stood with the formation, they would be accepted, but they left the truth to dispose of its creation as it is in the same matter and refused to be a subject for the appearance of the conjugation. For wisdom that the truth taught them, and these are about that in isolation. But if they mean that, it is not imaginable from them except that they are commanded like the messengers, peace be upon them, that is to God and they do not disobey God as he commanded them, for they are infallible from adding actions to them if they appear from them, so they say it is for the apparent of His names in His manifestations, so what is ours and the claim we are There is nothing if we are manifestations of it, and in other than this state, and this station is called eternal rest, and the one who stands in it is at rest. [ Judgment is for the rank, not for the eye .]Because the ruling is for the rank, not for the eye. Do you not see that the sultan walks his orders in his kingdom, so he is not disobeyed, afraid, hopeful, and what |
