m have been and shall ever be created through the potency
of His command. He is exalted above every mention or praise and is
sanctified beyond every word of commendation or every comparison. No
created thing comprehendeth Him, while He in truth comprehendeth all
things. Even when it is said 'no created thing comprehendeth Him', this
refers to the Mirror of His Revelation, that is Him Whom God shall make
manifest. Indeed too high and exalted is He for anyone to allude unto Him.

4: EXCERPTS FROM DALA'IL-I-SAB'IH (THE SEVEN PROOFS)

"Thou hast asked concerning the fundamentals ..."

Thou hast asked concerning the fundamentals of religion and its
ordinances: Know thou that first and foremost in religion is the knowledge
of God. This attaineth its consummation in the recognition of His divine
unity, which in turn reacheth its fulfilment in acclaiming that His
hallowed and exalted Sanctuary, the Seat of His transcendent majesty, is
sanctified from all attributes. And know thou that in this world of being
the knowledge of God can never be attained save through the knowledge of
Him Who is the Dayspring of divine Reality.

"Gracious God! Within the domains of Islam there are ..."

Gracious God! Within the domains of Islam there are at present seven

own realms with the Manifestation of God! They would thereby have
fulfilled the purpose for which they have been created. All their desires
have been and are still fixed upon leaving behind them traces of their
names.

"Ponder likewise the Dispensation of the Apostle of God ..."

Ponder likewise the Dispensation of the Apostle of God which lasted twelve

Bayan. He directed everyone to await the advent of the Promised Qa'im. All
