He was indeed present among His creation while they knew not that He was the Originator. The Unseen that cannot be comprehended consists of His actions manifest from Him during the state of His manifestation, and it is these actions that pointed to Him—and He is the Commander of the Faithful, His glory is magnificent, in His very Essence.

God has praised [those who believe in the Unseen] ¹ through His truthful statement: "Who believe in the Unseen, establish prayer, and spend out of what We have provided for them; and who believe in what has been revealed to you, [O Muhammad], and what was revealed before you, and of the Hereafter they are certain [in faith]. Those are upon [right] guidance from their Lord, and it is those who are the successful." ²

Yet you, O Sheikh, have made the outward your ultimate limit and ultimate end, [and you worshipped the visible delineations] ³ , while remaining ignorant of the gnosis of the Creator of creation.
