فتراحموا بها، وأوجد الكبرياء في الإنسان بالصورة فتكبر به.

فإن قلت: إذا ورد أفعل فليس هو المقصود به «أفعل من»، قلنا: فالله يقول: ﴿أَحْسَنُ الْخالِقِينَ﴾ وهو هنا «أفعل من»، بلا شك.

وكذٰلك في حق الإنسان لما قال تعالى: ﴿أَعْطى كُلَّ شَيْءٍ خَلْقَهُ﴾ [طه: ٥٠]، فكل موجود فهو على التقويم الذي يعطيه خلقه. وقال في الإنسان إنه خلقه في ﴿أَحْسَنِ تَقْوِيمٍ﴾ [التين: ٤]، أي التقويم الذي خلقه عليه أفضل من كل تقويم.

وما صحت له هذه الصفة التي فضل بها على غيره إلا بكونه خلقه الله على صورته.

فإن قلت: فهٰذا التغيير الذي يطرأ على الإنسان في نفسه وصورة الحق لا تقبل التغيير، قلنا: الله يقول في هٰذا المقام: ﴿سَنَفْرُغُ لَكُمْ أَيُّهَ الثَّقَلانِ﴾ [الرحمن: ٣١] وقال صلى الله عليه وسلم: «فرغ ربك». وقال: «يتجلى في أدنى صورة، ثم يتحول عند إنكارهم إلى الصورة التي عرفوه فيها بالعلامة التي يعرفونها».

فقد أضاف إلى نفسه هٰذا المقام، وهو العلي عن مقام التغيير بذاته والتبديل، ولكن التجليات في المظاهر الإلهية على قدر العقائد التي تحدث للمخلوقين مع الآنات تسمى بهٰذا المقام.

وإذا كان الأمر على ما ذكرناه، وكذٰلك هو، فيصح ما ذكرناه ويرتفع الاعتراض الوهمي. تعالى الله علوا كبيرا.

through which they show mercy to one another. He brought greatness into existence within the human being through the form, and through it he became arrogant.

If you say that when afʿal occurs, “more than” is not intended, we say: God says “the best of creators,” and here it undoubtedly means “more than.”

Likewise concerning the human being, when He said, exalted is He, “He gave everything its creation” [Ta Ha 20:50], every existent possesses the constitution its creation gives. Of the human being He said that He created him in “the best constitution” [al-Tin 95:4]: the constitution upon which He created him is better than every constitution.

This attribute through which he was preferred over others belonged to him only because God created him upon His form.

If you ask about the change that befalls the human being in himself, while the Real’s form does not accept change, we say: in this station God says, “We shall attend to you, two weighty kinds” [al-Rahman 55:31]. He said, God bless him and grant him peace, “Your Lord has finished,” and, “He discloses Himself in a lower form, then, when they deny, transforms into the form in which they knew Him through the sign they know.”

He ascribed this station to Himself, although in His Essence He is high above the station of change and alteration. But self-disclosures within divine loci of manifestation, according to the beliefs arising for creatures with the instants, are named by this station.

Since the affair is as we mentioned—and so it is—what we mentioned is sound and the imagined objection disappears. Greatly exalted is God.
