And indeed, the Human World—its existence was from the World of High Lights. And the proof of that is clear, needing no evidence for it 1.
Because the proof of that has preceded in the Religions (Millas) and Laws (Shara'i), so there is no need to multiply speech regarding it.
So the Higher World—which is the World of Light—is more ancient (Aqdam) than Humanity in the sight of the Deity. And what the scholars have restricted and established proofs upon is that the Sphere. The Earth, with all its parts of land and sea, is fixed in the center of the Heaven like a point in a circle. And every star among the stars is many times larger than the sphere of the Earth.
And this is something no one disputes, for it is agreed upon by the consensus of the scholars.
So if it were as some people claim—that the Deity appeared in Humanity alone without having a manifestation in the Heaven; and that He transferred from the era of Adam to the time of Al-Hasan Al-Askari and the appearance of the Proof (Al-Hujjah), then refrained from manifestation, existence, and presence.
