the Exalted's, saying: {And they plotted, and Allah plotted, and Allah is the best of plotters} 1 So what is the plot of Allah? And what is the plot of the deniers?
The plot of Allah is in two ways: the first is that He appeared to them as a human like them, and they did not perceive Him or His Messenger; and the second is that He made it appear that He was killed."
And the sixth reason: is the need of the created beings for the form, because as it has been said: There is no speech except from a form.
For it has come in The Book of the Foundation: "The questioner said: 'So how did He come to have a form?' The scholar said: 'Due to the need of the created beings for it, like their need for speech, because there is no speech except from a form.'"
And our Master Abu Shu'ayb, to him is submission, said: "He only appeared to the universe like the universe, so that form may approach form, and likewise so they could understand from Him His command and His prohibition."
