"If you deny and negate through your [faulty] argument, you have not recognized the Visible Image as being He, nor have you truly seen or beheld Him; you were not present at the time of Manifestation, nor did you witness the Absence (Ghayba) or the Presence (Hudur)."

"How can you bear witness to that which you do not know to be true, nor have you verified its vision 1 ? While Allah the Exalted says: {And do not say about Allah except the truth} 2 ."

Regarding the Takbir (Magnification) narrated from our Master al-Sadiq—Exalted be His Might:

"Allah is Greater than what can be imagined in the consciences of minds and thoughts; Allah is Greater than the finite reach of the subtleties of secrets."
