So He is Allah by His relation to the Power, and He is not Allah by His relation to the image [Suwar], and He only guided the people to the Zahir [Outer] through it. And whatever was of Power, it is attributed to the Ancient; and whatever was of inability [or] manner, is attributed to the human, bloody Veil [Hijab] which the creation witnesses as one of them.
