For the world of the witnessed ('Alam al-Shahadah) is like the world of the unseen ('Alam al-Ghayb). Not everything in the kingdom (al-Malakut) is hidden from us such that we do not understand it, nor do we reach the knowledge of it except by its example in our world which we witness and comprehend. Thus, we then know the meanings of what is absent by what is present, as a kindness from the Creator (al-Bari), whose power is exalted. And were it not for that, we would not have understood those secrets, nor would we have comprehended those lights..."

I say: And after the insistence of the disbelievers on disbelief in every dome (Qubbah) and manifestation (Zuhur), God cursed them and disavowed them. And out of His, Glory be to Him, kindness to the believers, He commanded them to conceal His esoteric secrets from them by establishing dissimulation (Taqiyyah) among them for instruction and discipline. And it is the wall (al-Sur) informed about by the Almighty in His Mighty Book, just as the Master al-Jannan (al-Sayyid al-Jannan), peace be upon him, established in the book Idah al-Misbah [The Illumination of the Lamp], saying:

"Indeed, the disbeliever's heart has been locked and his core/mind (Lubbuhu) has been stripped away. He has been veiled from the lights, unable to acquire them, and repelled from wisdom, unable to seek it, and from experience, unable to glean it.
