The Allamah said: "Meaning: indeed, reflection and contemplation upon what He has manifested of divine decrees is precisely what calls for the negation of what is perceived of physical forms."

And he also said:

“Thus, through my intoxication, my sobriety became manifest to my companions,

By affirming the One within Whom she effaced me.”

The Allamah said: "By 'affirming the One within Whom she effaced me,' he points to the annihilation (fanā’) of the physical form through the manifestation of divine power; for nothing possesses existence alongside the sovereignty of Reality. Through this affirmation, sobriety becomes manifest during the state of intoxication."

And he also said:

“The Truth within creation is creation,

And creation within the Truth is Truth.”

The Allamah said:

"The Truth (al-Haqq) is the Essence; 'within creation' is the manifestation in physical form; 'is creation' is that which is manifest to plain sight.
