== | ==THE FIFTH DEGREE== | ||
(*<ref>*This is explained and illustrated in the Addendum to the First Stopping-Place of the Thirty- Second Word and in the Second Station of the Twentieth Word.</ref>) | |||
God is Most Great! For He is the All-Powerful Creator, the Giver of Form, All- Seeing, proofs of whose divinity and tremendousness are the heavenly bodies and brilliant glittering stars; they are rays testifying to His dominicality and splendour. They testify to and proclaim His glittering sovereignty and dominicality; they proclaim the vast extent of His rule and His wisdom, and the majestic vastness of His power. Listen to the verse:Do they not lok at the sky above them? How We have made it and adorned it, and there are no flaws in it?(50:6) | |||
Then look at the face of the heavens, you see how it is silent in its tranquillity, in motion with wisdom, radiant with majesty, how it smiles with its adornment, within the order of its creation, the symmetry of its art. | |||
The shining of its lamp, the sun, for the changing of the seasons, the stages of its candle, the moon, to illuminate the tracks, the glittering of its stars to adorn the worlds, proclaim to those who think an infinite, unending sovereignty that regulates this world. Thus, the All-Powerful Creator is Knowing of all things, His will is all- encompassing; what He wills is, and what He does not will is not. He is Powerful over all things through His essential, all-embracing, absolute power. Neither is it possible or imaginable for the sun today to exist without light or heat, nor is it possible or imaginable for a god and creator of the heavens to exist without all- embracing knowledge and absolute power. Of necessity He is Knowing of all things with all-encompassing knowledge essential to His being. Of necessity such knowledge is connected with all things; by virtue of the mystery of presence, witnessing, penetration, and luminous all-comprehension, nothing can be separate from or outside of such knowledge.The balance and order to be observed in beings, and the ordered proportionateness, and universal wisdom, and perfect bestowal, and measured regularity, and determined fruitfulness, and the appointed hour of death, and regular sustenance, the utter excellence and precision as established by science, and the solicitous adornment, and the utterly perfect differentiation, balance, order, and skill, and the absolute ease, all testify to the all-encompassing knowledge of the One All- Knowing of the Unseen and all things. | |||
As is indicated byt the verse, Should He not know – He that created? And He is the One that understands the finest mysteries [and] is well-acquainted [with them](67:14) the existence of a thing necessitates knowledge, and the light of existence of things necessitates the light of knowledge. In comparison with the evidence of man’s creation to His Creator’s knowledge, man’s fine art, which points to his intelligence is like the infinitesimal light of a fire- fly on a dark night in comparison with the splendid brilliance of the noon-day sun on the face of the earth. And if He is knowing of all things, so He is wills all things. For something cannot be realized without being willed. And just as power is effectual and knowledge distinguishes, so will specifies; then the existence of things is realized. | |||
There are evidences to the existence of the divine will and choice to the number of states, stages, and attributes of things. Yes, all beings being given order and particular attributes from among limitless possibilities, amid fruitless ways from among confused floods of incongruous elements, with such fine and sensitive order, and their being given balance with such fine and sensitive balance, as is to be observed; and the creation of the various well- ordered living beings from simple life less matter – like man and his physical systems from sperm, and birds and their limbs from eggs, and trees and their various members from seeds – show that all things are specified and determined through His will, choice, and volition. | |||
Just as things of the same sort corresponding to one another and members of the same species resembling each other in regard to basic members shows that of necessity their Maker is One, Single; so too each member having a wise individuality marked by orderly distinguishing features indicates that that One, Single Maker is an Agent with Will and Choice who acts as He wishes and commands as He wills. | |||
Just as that All-Knowing and Willing Creator has knowledge of all things and is willing of all things, and has all-embracing knowledge and all-encompassing will and total choice; so too He has necessary, essential perfect power, proceeding from His Essence and necessary to it. The intervention of its opposite is impossible, as all are agreed. So there are no degrees in His power. Particles and stars are equal in relation to it, as are many and few, small and great, particulars and universals, parts and the whole, man and the universe, and the seed and the tree. | |||
Through the mystery of luminosity, transparency, reciprocity, balance, order, and conformity; | |||
According to the testimony of absolute order, absolute balance, and absolute differentiation, together with absolute speed, ease, and multiplicity; Through the mystery of the assistance of unity, the facility of unity, and the manifestation of oneness; Through the wisdom of necessity, total detachment and disengagedness, and complete otherness of essence; Through the mystery of unrestrictedness, not being bound by space, and indivisibility; Through the wisdom of the transformation of obstructions and difficulties into means of facilitation – if there were need, though there is none – like veins in human beings and metal wires for conducting electricity and subtle forces; Through the wisdom of particles being of no less eloquence than the stars, nor particulars of less eloquence than universals, nor parts less than wholes, nor the few less than the many, nor the small less than the great, nor man less than the world, nor seeds being of less eloquence than the tree; According to all these, particles are equal to the stars before that power, few are equal to many, small are equal to great, the parts and equal to the whole, particulars are equal to universals, man is equal to the world, and the seed equal to the tree; it cannot be deemed unlikely that whoever creates the former creates the latter. For the beings that are encompassed are miniature samples of the universal, encompassing beings, and like tiny missives, or points distilled from them. That is to say, the thing that is encompassed has to be in the grasp of power of the Creator of the encompassing being so that the miniature sample of the encompassing being may be contained within the encompassed thing through the principles of His knowledge, and the summary of the encompassing being may be pressed out of it in accordance with the balance of His wisdom. A Qur’an of Wisdom written on an atom in particles of ether is of no less eloquence than a Qur’an of Grandeur written on the pages of the heavens with the ink of the sun and stars. Similarly, the creation of a bee or an ant is of no less eloquence than the creation of a date-palm or an elephant, and the art in a rose is of no less eloquence than a shining star. And so on, further examples may be made in the same way. | |||
Furthermore, the complete ease in the creation of things has led the people of misguidance to confuse the formation of things with self-formation, which necessitates superstitious impossibilities that not only the reason rejects, but from which even fancy flees in disgust, while for the people of truth and reality it proves certainly and necessarily that before the power of the Creator of the universe, stars and particles are equal.nMay His glory be exalted and name be magnified; there is no god but He! | |||

==THE SIXTH DEGREE== | |||
</ | (*<ref>*If this sixth degree had been written similarly to the other degrees, it would have been extremely lengthy, for the Clear Book and the Clear Record cannot be explained in concise terms. However, there is a brief discussion of it in the Thirtieth Word, so we have cut short the discussion here, and left detailed explanation of it to the study session [ders].</ref>) | ||
May His glory be exalted and sublimity extolled, God is Most Great! In regard to power and knowledge He is greater than all things. For He is All-Just, All-Wise, All- Powerful, All-Knowing, One, Single, the Pre-Eternal Sovereign. All the worlds are within the grasp of His order and balance, and ordering and balancing; of His justice, and wisdom, and knowledge, and power, and under their sway. They manifest His unity and oneness, as may be surmised certainly, indeed, may be observed. For there is nothing in existence which is outside the bounds of the order and balance and ordering and balancing. They are the two domains of the Clear Record and the Clear Book. These are two titles, the former of the knowledge and command of the All- Knowing and Wise One, the latter of the power and will of that Mighty and All-Compassionate One. For the order and balance in this Book and Record are two shining proofs for people of reason who have two eyes in their head, that nothing at all in existence and time is outside the grasp of power of a Most Merciful One, the ordering of One Most Kind, the adorning of One Most Clement, the balancing of a Requiter. | |||
'''In Short:''' The manifestations of the names of First and Last in creation look to the beginnings and ends of beings, and their origin and progeny, and the past and the future, and to the divine command and knowledge; they point to the Clear Record. While the manifestation of the names of Outward and Inward in the creation of things indicate the Clear Book. For the universe is like a vast tree, and all the worlds within it also are like trees. You may therefore draw a comparison between the creation of a single tree and that of the universe together with all its worlds and realms. The tree has an origin and source, which is the seed from which it sprang, and it has a progeny which continues its functions after its death, which is the seed in its fruit. Thus its beginning and end are the manifestations of the names of First and Last. Through order and wisdom, its beginning and original seed are an index and timetable comprising all the laws of the tree’s formation. The seeds in its fruits, which are its end, are the place of manifestation of the name of Last. The seeds in its fruit created with perfect wisdom are like small coffers in which have been placed an index and timetable for the formation of a similar tree. Inscribed in them with the pen of divine determining are the laws of the formation of future trees.The tree’s outer aspect is the manifestation of the name of Outward. For its outer appearance displays perfect order and balancing and wisdom, like an ornate and decorated garment with which the tree has been clothed with perfect wisdom and grace in accordance with the measure of its stature. The tree’s inner aspect is the manifestation of the name of Inward. It displays perfect order and planning and astounds minds. It distributes the substances necessar y for the tree’s life to its various members with complete regularity, as though this inner aspect were a wondrous machine working with the utmost orderly balance. | |||
Thus, its origin is a wondrous timetable and its end an astonishing index, both indicating the Clear Record. While its outer aspect is a gorgeous robe full of art, and its inner aspect, a machine of the utmost regularity; both pointing to the Clear Book. Just as man’s faculty of memory points to the Preserved Tablet and is a proof it, so the original seeds of trees and their fruits point to the Clear Record. While their outer and inner aspects allude to the Clear Book. Comparisons may therefore be drawn between this particular tree and the tree of the earth and its past and its future, and the tree of the universe and its beginnings and its future, and the tree of man and his forebears and progeny. And so on. May their Creator’s glory be exalted, there is no god but He! Oh One Sublime! You guide not the mind to the true essence of Your grandeur nor lead it to the substance of Your tremendousness, for it is powerless to comprehend them! | |||

== | ==THE SEVENTH DEGREE== | ||
God is Most Great, may His glory be exalted! In respect of power and knowlege He is greater than all things. For He is the Creator,(*<ref>*If one looks through the telescopes of these divine names at the divine acts and works beneath their manifestations in beings, the mind is transposed to the Glorious One whom the names signify.</ref>)the Opener, the Doer, Most Knowing, the Bestower, Most Effulgent, the Pre-Eternal Sun. The universe together with its realms and beings is a shadow thrown by His lights; they are the works of His acts, and the colours of the impresses of the various manifestations of His names, and the lines inscribed by the pen of His determining and decree, and mirrors to the manifestations of His attributes, beauty, glory, and perfection. According to the consensus of the Pre-Eternal Witness, known through all His Books and Scriptures, and His Qur’anic verses, and creational signs; And the consensus of the earth with all its worlds, together with their total essential want and need, and the absolute wealth and riches displayed on them; And the consensus of all the prophets, saints, and purified scholars, the people of witnessing with luminous spirits, light-filled hearts, and illumined minds, through all their researches, uncoverings, effulgences, and invocations;All from the earth to the lofty and lowly bodies with their endless certain testimony and certain affirmation, agree in accepting the testimony of the creational signs and Qur’anic verses, and the revealed Books and Scriptures, the very testimony of the Necessary Existent One, that all beings are the works of His power, the missives of His determining, the mirrors to His names, and the representations of His Lights.May His glory be exalted, there is no god but He! | |||
