Al-Usayfir

So he knew that the Light is what is intended and pointed to as being a cause for Guidance, corresponding to the High Lights, and through it is the Connection to the World of the Deity. And it is what is known as the Ranks of Existence¹.

And to it the Master (Al-Sayyid) indicated by his saying:

"From a servant upon whom Allah bestowed favor and made for him a light by which he walks among the people."

And Allah the Almighty says:

{And he to whom Allah has not granted light - for him there is no light }.²

And I have alerted [you] to the utmost possibility, and I have striven for [your] guidance with the utmost effort. And from Allah we ask for guidance; indeed, He is Generous, the Bestower of Favors, the Guardian of Good and Beneficence.

Know—may Allah grant success to you and us for what He chooses, and avert from us and you the severing obstacles—
