He says: 'Those through whom one does not draw near to God are disbelievers, for they exist upon His Form in terms of [outward] grandeur yet they violate [the sanctity of] His Form. Tomorrow, they shall depart from the [human] form and be transformed into Metamorphosed states (al-masukhiyya). It is within those metamorphosed states that they shall [involuntarily] be made to draw near to God Almighty.'"

He says: The Simple Essence (al-Jawhar al-Basit) which exists with a Form and an Appearance is God. His Appearance is Primordiality and Majesty; His Form is the Active Form, the very one upon which the spirits of the angels and human beings were fashioned.

...[leading] to his saying: And they are spirits without bodies, possessing a Divinity Form (Surah Lahutiyya), because Primordiality is everlasting. [There are] two essences: a form with an appearance—which is the body—without anything else; and that which is the Form with an Appearance. There is also [that which has] an appearance but no form, such as the heavens, the earth, the mountains, the seas, the stars, the firmament, the clouds, and the like.

He says: That Form is known among the angels; it is called the Form of Sovereignty (Surah al-Riyasa), and it is also called the Form of the Moon (Surah al-Qamar).
