He manifested alongside Jesus—exalted be his glory—the creation of birds from clay, healed the blind and the leper, cured various ailments, and revived the dead. He guided Jesus toward His Meaning in divinity, saying: {And a messenger to the Children of Israel: "Indeed I have come to you with a sign from your Lord in that I design for you from clay that which is like the form of a bird, then I breathe into it and it becomes a bird by permission of God. And I cure the blind and the leper, and I give life to the dead by permission of God. And I inform you of what you eat and what you store in your houses. Indeed in that is a sign for you, if you are believers."}1
Then the Mim—exalted be his glory—confessed servitude to our Master and negated divinity from himself, saying: {He said, "Indeed, I am the servant of God. He has given me the Scripture and made me a prophet. And He has made me blessed wherever I am and has enjoined upon me prayer and zakat as long as I remain alive."}2
This is an indication to the people of insight that He is the Worshipped God, and that He is his Creator who is benevolent and bountiful toward him. Then he spoke an announcement heard by the People of the Outward: "O Simon, you are my rock; upon you I have set my pack, and upon you I build my church."
Likewise, the Lord Mim said to our Master Amir Almuminin—exalted be his glory: "You are my rock; upon you I have set my pack." He is Simon Peter (Sham’un ibn Yunan), who is manifest in every age and time, worshipped in every language and tongue.
The Meaning—exalted be His majesty and sanctified be His names—manifested as our Master, the Prince of Bees, from our Lord Abu Talib ibn Abd al-Muttalib—exalted be their glory—in Essence. Exalted is He whose Essence resembles no other essences, and His manifestations resemble no other manifestations. Lord Abu Talib is the Magnificent House established and the High Ceiling raised, from which the Lord—glory be to Him—manifested in His Essence.
