Mention of the Letter Lam — I Mean the Indwelling (al-Tajanni)

That is because Allah—Majestic is His praise—manifests to His Saint (Wali) specifically through an attribute from the attributes of His Unseen, provided the Saint is subtle, celestial, and complete, having reached his maturity, attained his full strength, and stood firm in the final degree of the ranks of the "Veil-state" (al-Hijabiyya) and the "Form-state" (al-Suriyya). He then witnesses Allah—Majestic is His mention—through the hidden, observed Veils 1 via His exalted Stations, whether they be Spiritual (al-Ruhaniyya) or Radiant (al-Diya'iyya), through disclosure (Kashf) and direct vision (‘Ayan).

This is His manifestation—Exalted is His station—to His Saint, specifically the high Spiritual [Saint] through the Radiant which is above him, and the Radiant [Saint] through the Luminous (al-Nurani). Each one witnesses what is above him through disclosure, overtly, and with direct vision, just as the Epiphany (al-Tajalli) was for Moses from his Dome. That is because Allah—Exalted is His station—manifested to the Mountain, which is the person (Shakhs) of Moses and his phantom-like likeness (Mithaluhu al-Shabahi).
