And according to the opinion of the Islamic philosophers and the mystics and the majority of the religious scholars, that the Creator, the Exalted, is manifest to the world of intellect forever, they witness Him and they find by that a pleasure that material pleasures do not resemble, so just as His existence was possible for the world of intellect by His saying, the Exalted: {And indeed he saw him on the clear horizon. And he is not withholding of the unseen} 1 , then it is not impossible for the world of man due to what was deposited in him of the light and the power of readiness for accepting the illumination of the divine emanations, since he was made the secret of existence, and all that is in it was found for his sake, and he is the middle neck between two ranks: light and darkness, and the path between paradise and the fire, and in the hadith: Verily Allah created Adam upon the likeness of His image.
