"Indeed, the Power (al-Qudrah) is truly the Name; He manifested from His light a shadow, and physicalized it into a luminous body, which is the Gate (al-Bab), and He created from the light of that light His pure worlds. The Name is the light of the Essence, and the light from which the shadow appeared is the light of light—which is the Radiance—and the shadow is the light of the Radiance, and the entirety is the reality of [the Name] 1 , majestic is His mention, which is the Power."
And he recited poetry concerning that:
The worlds of the Dominion (al-Mulk) have been brought into being,
And upon the entirety of Him do they contain.
It is clarified so that the paths of guidance may be walked, By the one who inclines and is crooked, and the one who is upright.
How many times to the Adversary (al-Didd) within his garments,
Was it spoken, yet he neither listened nor desisted?
