I have looked into this and reflected upon it, and I realized that if I were to record even a portion of what has reached me and what Allah has graced me with regarding the miracles of our Lord, the Commander of the Faithful—Glorified be His Might—it would result in a massive and expansive volume.

However, I know that in what I have already provided, there is sufficiency for those seeking guidance (al-mustarshidin) and a path for those seeking insight (al-mustabsirin) through the light of faith—those who are guided by the proofs of the Master of every age, time, and era. By Allah, I swear a sincere oath: that which our Lord, the Anza' al-Batin (the One freed from polytheism and filled with knowledge), manifested and revealed from the Trunk (Ayba) is more than enough for those possessed of intellect.

I have decided to limit myself to the proofs of the Meaning (al-Ma'na) that I have mentioned, his allusions to his own Essence, and the miracles he manifested for his chosen elite so that they might reach us and we might believe in them. We have indeed believed and testified to the truth, and we ask Him for steadfastness in realizing this, for it is a sanctuary from perils and the greatest path for the seeker (al-salik).

As for his brilliant sermons (khutab) delivered to those who heard them, they are vast in number, and we cannot encompass them in their entirety. Should we attempt to do so, the book would grow too long and the discourse too expansive.
