Without dispute, the world of the Kingdom (Malakut) see the Eternal Meaning (al-Ma'na al-Qadim) and the Most High, Magnificent God according to their luminous stations and their essential capability through His enabling of them, and that is according to the overflowing power upon them from the Divine overflow and the spiritual secret; so they look upon Him from where they are and according to their form, while He—Exalted and Sublime is He—is as He is, Truly in His Essence. Just as He encompassed through His justice and His manifestation for the World of Light, He acted with justice and kindness by His manifestation in the corporeal world.

If the matter were as the objector interprets it, the Qur'an would not have reached us, nor would its recitation have touched our tongues and our hands; the Qur'an would have remained only in the hands of those witnessing Him and veiled from whoever did not see his Creator, and there would have been no benefit in it reaching us, nor any return for us from it. The Qur'an is the Master, the Greatest Name (al-Ism al-A'zam) and the most Majestic, most Noble Veil (al-Hijab); and its verses are His manifestations in every cycle (Kawr), era (Dawr), dome (Qubba), and nation (Milla).
