Thus, since it is established that the veils are invalid, being intrinsically bound to the people of mixtures and belonging to their own genre, it is mandatory to declare the Creator transcendent above them, while acknowledging their necessity for those people and their persistence within their turbid optical faculties.”

It is stated in Al-Ṭāliqāniyyah:

“Affirm existence and direct witnessing, deduce His identity through the deeds and miracles, and negate from Him form and embodiment.”

And in Tadhkirat al-Murīdīn by Sheikh Husayn al-Ahmad, Allah sanctified his secret:

“Verily, the multiplicity of the attributes of the Truth stems from the side of the recipients among those looking upon Him; the attributes He displayed within their eyes do not actually apply to Him.”

It is also stated therein:

“Therefore, when that visible form is witnessed in plain sight through personification (al-tashkhīṣ), that personification stems from the side of the onlookers' eyes, not from the side of the Sublime Essence.”
