Thus, the continuity of His craft is linked to His own continuity, Glory be to Him and He is Exalted. When the name "The Originator" is nullified, the craft is nullified, and this indicates the increase.
The second evidence for the increase is that any criminal, when his punishment ends, is released from his prison, and whenever he returns to committing the same crime, his punishment increases further in his prison. Likewise, he who was in his humanity and deserved transformation and the shifting within his transformed state, when his punishment ends, he returns to his humanity to gain new opportunities for repentance. If he returns and commits the same crime, his punishment in his transformation increases, but in a filthier and more fetid garment, and so on until he reaches a degree called Al-Wasakh, which is for worms, insects, and the like; at that point, his soul fragments as an increase in his punishment.
When he completes his punishment after his soul has fragmented into hundreds and perhaps thousands, his soul returns to humanity but in a larger number, and this explains the increase of numbers in humanity; and the increase of evil souls is from our bad deeds.
