Inspiring quotes from the Meccan Revelations (... more)
( Question one hundred and four )
(Check the original text in Arabic ...)
The answer is that God has pointed out that the greatness that minds wear is a cloak that hides them from realizing the truth when it is revealed. So greatness is not an attribute of the truth upon realization, but rather it is an attribute of the hearts that know it, so it is on them like a cloak on the wearer, and from behind it it obscures it. That greatness is not evidenced by him, and it inherits humiliation in his hands. Among the evidence that the great is described as great is that he refers to the world through him and not to him, that if the great one sees him who does not know him, he does not find for that look in his heart any awe or reverence for his ignorance of him, and he who knows his position and status has the authority of knowledge over his heart. This knowledge gives him greatness in his heart, so he is described as great, not great .
