And He says:

{And do not pursue that of which you have no knowledge.}1

And He says:

{And we have not testified except to what we knew.}2

And the Commander of the Faithful (Exalted be His Might) said:

"My Outward is Imamate and Vicegerency (Wasiyya), and my Inward is an Inaccessible Unseen that is not perceived."

And he said:

"Whoever inclines to our Outward and abandons our Inward, Allah strips him of our Walaya (Guardianship/Allegiance)."

So, if you had awakened from your slumber, sobered up from your intoxication, reprimanded your soul for your ignorance, and followed the Truth, you would have known and testified: That the one whom you mentioned, and whom you restricted to the earth, and divided, and upon whom you applied what is applied to the world of generation and corruption .

And you voided your view of the Heaven, the World of the Intellect, and of the One who encompasses the Whole in power, ability, authority, greatness, majesty, and awe.

Indeed, no place is devoid of Him, nor does time restrict Him, nor does any epoch encompass Him.
