And he says: 'And the creation remains sculpted [by His power], while He has Personified (Tashakhasa) for the Essence; and He is the Manifest Light and the Visual Form.'
Sheikh Sulayman al-Ahmad says regarding the poem of Bakhtiyar al-Daylami:
He says: 'And they pay no heed to the thousands of instances [stating] that the Inaccessible Unseen is none other than the Visual Form. Indeed, this poem is for the purpose of Establishing Existence (Ithbat al-Wujud); and [it proves] that the Outward One who appeared to them in Luminosity during the Day of Shadows (Yawm al-Azilla) and said: "Am I not your Lord?"—is the One manifesting to His creation. This [current] Form is the very same as that [original] Form.'
And he says: 'Regarding the Form of Existence: whoever claims that the Creator (al-Bari) is 'other' than Her at the time of His manifestation: has indeed disbelieved (Kafara).'
And he [the Sheikh] says: 'That is because the Origin of the Creed of this doctrine and its Fundamental Principle is that the Visual Form is the Universal Goal. She, manifesting through the Seven Domes (al-Sab' Qibab)—from Abel (Habil) to the Commander of the Faithful [Ali]—is the very same Worshipped Essence. He who never departed from His Earth through the witnessing of His Heaven; [She is] one single Essence and one single Reality.'
