the call of the Veil to the Gate (Al-Bab), and the call of the Gate to the Orphans (Al-Aytam) toward the knowledge of the Meaning, the Veil, and the Gate.

Therefore, the Takbir was legislated in the Adhan four times as a warning to the creation regarding the precedence of the response in the first call. This is because the Greatest Orphan, when he appeared with his luminosity to the Messenger (Al-Munba')—and he is the greatest of the seventeen Messengers—to see himself, he magnified Him (said Takbir) and said: "This is my Lord." But when his star set under the radiance of the Moon of the Gate, upon its manifestation to him, said: "This is my Lord." Then, when the Sun of the Veil manifested, the Moon of the Gate set beneath the radiance of its light, and he said: "This is my Lord; this is greater." Then the Meaning manifested to him, so every existent thing vanished from him beneath the radiance of His light. He was inspired by his sincerity that there is no objective greater than what he witnessed beyond it; thus, he disassociated himself from polytheism and said: {I have turned my face toward Him who originated the heavens and the earth, as a monotheist, and I am not of the polytheists} (Al-An'am 79).

He intends by "turning" [the face] toward the Veil, who is the Originator (Fatir) of the heavens and the earth—and they are the Gate and the Greatest Orphan. The Herald (Al-Munba') sanctified himself from making the Veil a partner to the Meaning in his turning toward Him.
