[96] Al-Raddad said in his treatise: The Scholar, His glory is mighty, said: "Whoever does not believe in the incapacity [of creation] does not believe in the Power [of God]."

And Al-Kalazi said in his treatise "The Healing" [Al-Shafiyah]: The Wise One, Muhammad ibn Sinan, said in the "Book of Veils and Lights" [Kitab al-Hujub wa-al-Anwar]: "Indeed, submission to the All-High, the All-Knowing, is to know Him through His luminous and shadowy veils, and prostration is to the Light, which is the manifest Lordship. Thus, the submission of the right hand is to know Him through His luminous veils, and the submission of the left hand is to know Him through His human, shadowy veils." Consequently, through this statement, the existence of the luminous form and the human form has been established for the gnostic, and the statement of whoever said that Allah is not seen, nor found, nor known within the luminous aspect has been invalidated.

Because the books of the people of Monotheism [Ahl al-Tawhid] all point to the existence of the two forms and the gnosis of them; and whoever affirms Him in one manifestation and denies Him in another manifestation, his denial would be better than his affirmation.
