That which is, from its own perspective, capable of non-existence.

The Existent whose reality is essentially incapable of non-existence is called 'The Necessarily Existent' (Wajib al-Wujud) by His very Essence. He is Allah, there is no god but He, who brought His manifestation into existence among creation while remaining distinct from them in being and reality. Exalted be Allah, the King, the Truth, the Manifest (al-Mubin).

The Truth (al-Haqq) is our Master, the 'Anza' (Ali), the 'Batin' (Inner), the Prince of the Believers. The Manifest (al-Mubin) is a name derived from 'appearance' (al-zuhur) and 'clarification' (al-bayan). It also contains another meaning: Distinction (al-mubayana), meaning His distinction from His creation, which is the state of total separation (al-baynuniya).

This leading Sheikh (Ibn al-Hajjaj) has conveyed the knowledge of all those of the Luminous Ranks. After what we have mentioned, he began describing the Orphans with the finest phrasing and most subtle sequence. Then, he listed the names of the Twelve Chiefs (Naqibs), providing their names, lineages, and titles in concise phrasing and enigmatic verse. Then, he proceeded to mention the Nobles (Nujaba) and the Informed (Munba’un), individual by individual.
