I have repeated the discourse and the striking of examples regarding the manifestation of the Essence in a visible image so that the meanings may become plain to him, and the realities clear. And since we believe that the Creator, the Exalted, possesses manifestations known to none but Him, and that He manifested from the Adamic Dome (al-qubbah al-adamiyyah) up to the Muhammadan Dome (al-qubbah al-muhammadiyyah) through seven appearances—the last of them being in the form of our master the Commander of the Faithful, Ali bin Abi Talib, may His might be mighty—I will focus the discourse on validation and the adducing of proofs, in the first degree, around this manifestation, while adducing some of them around certain other manifestations. And Allah is the Granter of success.
