"The Name perceives Him through that by which the Gate (al-Bāb) does not perceive Him; and the Gate perceives Him through that by which the Greatest Orphan (al-Yatīm al-Akbar) does not perceive Him."

Thus, the Name perceived Him via the attribute of Light (al-Nūr), the Gate perceived Him via the attribute of Radiance (al-Ḍiyā’), the Orphan perceived Him via the attribute of the Shadow (al-Ẓill), and we—the world of humanity—perceived Him via the attribute of the mortal (al-Bashar).

For this reason, it is mandatory to affirm the manifestation of homogeneity and acknowledge that the Creator manifested to every genre like unto its own genre. For were it not for this manifestation, no one would have recognized Allah, nor would anyone have worshipped Allah. The doctrine of the monotheists is exactly as Sheikh Kamil Salih Ma'ruf, Allah sanctified his secret, stated:

"Verily, He, the Exalted, homogenized with the world of Light through a form that resembled them, and He homogenized with the world of humanity through a form that shared their likeness."
