And the saying of the Mighty and Majestic: {That is because God is the Truth and that He gives life to the dead and that He is over all things competent}. And the saying of the Almighty: {Indeed, it is We who give life and cause death, and to Us is the destination}.
And the saying of Him whose Name is Majestic: {Does man not consider that We created him from a sperm-drop; then at once he is a clear adversary? And he presents for Us an example and forgets his [own] creation. He says, "Who will give life to bones while they are disintegrated?" Say, "He will give them life who produced them the first time; and He is, of all creation, Knowing." [It is] He who made for you from the green tree, fire, and then from it you ignite. Is not He who created the heavens and the earth able to create the like of them? Yes, [it is so]; and He is the Knowing Creator. His command is only, when He intends a thing, that He says to it, "Be," and it is}.
And the saying of Him whose Praise is Majestic: {Have you not considered the one who argued with Abraham about his Lord because God had given him kingship? When Abraham said, "My Lord is the one who gives life and causes death," he said, "I give life and cause death." Abraham said, "Indeed, God brings the sun from the east, so bring it from the west." So the disbeliever was overwhelmed [by astonishment], and God does not guide the wrongdoing people}.
As we have established the testimonies from the Quran, let us follow them with what we have transmitted from the gems of reports and narrated from the finest traditions, according to the testimonies we previously presented regarding the five traits, so that the soul may be strengthened thereby and the person of insight may increase in guidance and company. God Almighty is the Granter of success, through His aid, to what is right.
