What is apparent from him is for him, and hidden from him is what is hidden from him. Then when he limited him to these limits, he stripped him of them and said to him, “You are not he, but rather he is the first and the last, the apparent and the hidden.” So the servant remained in his state of existence as he was able, as long as he was able to depart from it, and it is not right for him to depart, and he added actions to it in order to obtain reassurance that the claim is not valid in it. For he said, “And to Hi

Then he said to the One who created the heavens and the earth, which is His saying, “So We separated them” meaning the one who distinguished the apparent from my inner, and my unseen from my testimony, and separated the spiritual powers within myself, just as He separated the heavens from one another. So He revealed in every heaven what He placed in every power of the powers of My heavens, and His saying, and the earth, so He separated Between my limbs, He made for the eye a judge, and for the ear, a judge, and for the rest of the limbs a judge, and this is His saying, and He has ordained in them their sustenances, and it is what the human mind is nourished by from the sciences that the senses give it, with what the mind synthesizes, from that to knowing God and knowing what God has commanded knowledge of, and this and what suits it. The world looks at God with guidance, by His saying, He created. The heavens and the earth, and it is a vast ocean. If we proceed with what happens t

Then he said, “Hanif,” meaning inclining, and the Hanif, “inclining,” says, “inclining toward the side of truth, from my ability to the necessity of my existence in my Lord, so it is permissible for me to abstain from nothingness, so I remain in pure goodness.” This is the meaning of his saying, “Hanif.” Then he said, “And I am not of the polytheists in this inclination.” He says, “I am not inclined to my command, as the servant said.” The righteous and what I did on my command, but the truth taught me how to turn to Him and what to turn to and from what I turn to and in what state I am in turning to Him. All of this must be known by the scholars of God in guidance, and if they are not of this ideal then they are not worthy of guidance, and if they come with this wording, then he denied it.

Then he said, “My prayer, my sacrifice, my life, and my death,” so he added all to himself, for these actions did not appear, and it is not valid for them to appear except by the obligation of the servant, since it is impossible for the Truth to add these things to Him without the rule of creation, so they are added to the Truth in terms of creating their essence, just as they are added to the servant in virtue of his being.

God says, “And I did not create the jinn and mankind except that they should worship me,” so He made the cause go back to His genocide, not to me. The initial intention was not good for us, but rather altruism was in keeping with the truth that one should be altruistic, so it was a lesson for us from the truth and a warning, and it is the saying of Rabi’a: “He is not worthy of worship. The scholar is the servant of God and the non-knowledgeable worships him for what he hopes from God regarding his soul’s fortunes in that worship, so for this reason.” He has prescribed for us to say to God, Lord of the Worlds, meaning the Master of the Worlds, their Owner, and their Conciliator, for what He has prescribed for them and made clear so as not to leave them in confusion, a

Then he said, “He has no partner, and with that I have been commanded, and I am the first of the Muslims.” That is, there is no god in this place intended for this worship except God who created me for it. That is, I do not involve myself in it with whatever comes to mind of the reward that God has promised to the one who has this characteristic.
