For He, glorified is He, is transcendent above substitution, change, multiplicity, and diversification. Therefore, the monotheists said: "Glory be to Him who has never ceased from His Being, even if He appeared to His ocular witnessing, and His Being in eternity is not known as to what it is except by Him."

From here, the prohibition and warning arrived from the prophets, the messengers, and the Imams of guided orthodox infallibility, glorified is their glory, that we must not describe the Creator except by what He described Himself, just as it came in the epistle of our Sheikh al-Khasibi, Allah purified his person, when he brought forward the question: "If a questioner says to us: 'What is the evidence for the Meaning and what is His being? Is He a thing or no thing? A body or an accident? Light or darkness?'"
