opening,
English
The Most Exalted Pen calleth unto all who dwell in creation and guideth them unto the One True God. O mortal elder! Render thou praise [3.5s]... ...He is indeed a true believer in the unity of God who, in this Day, will regard Him as One immeasurably exalted above all the comparisons and likenesses with which men have compared Him
abstract Stresses the importance of distinguishing the transcendent reality of God from the signs of God in the world, taking as an example the subject of mystical self-surrender (faná’) and eternal union (baqá’) with God, which should be understood as the act of complete renunciation of worldly desire and not the elevation of the individual will to that of God.
