Not out of need did He invent 1 it, nor out of futility did He originate it; rather, creation is His act, so He has never ceased to be a Creator, and speech is His indication, so He has never ceased to be a Speaker 2.
And His blessings be upon His Invented Light and His Originated Veil—He formed him so he became His locus, and established him so He brought his visible presence into existence. And [blessings be] upon His Gate, the guide to His rectitude, and the path to His purpose. And upon His Orphans (Aytaam), His Chiefs (Nuqaba), His Nobles (Nujaba), His Elect, His Sincere Ones, and His Tested Ones. And upon all the worlds of His Holiness, and the locus of the radiance of His intimacy, and those who join them all together. And grant [them] abundant peace until the Day of Resurrection and Judgment3.
