the radiance of its insight’s light, and the subtlety of its spirituality. Thus, when the believer attains full [knowledge of] 1 the reward, and that mutation is pulled back from [his sight] 2 , and He removes the blindness from [his sight and the rust from his heart, he beholds Him clearly through His grace upon him] 3 .
