‘Again the Qur’an says: “We will soon show them our signs in the world and in their minds to assure them that the Qur’an is true.” (2) In fact, when someone has faith in God, everything else is reduced to nothing for him, for, he has found something compared with which other things are worthless, Sa’di has expressed this idea beautifully in his poetic work ‘Boostan’: “The way of intellect is a maze; but, for the wise, there is nothing but God .” And to explain the matter of nothingness, he says: “This can be told to a discerner of truth, but men of conjecture will cavil at it, Saying, what, then, are heaven and earth?

Who are human beings, beasts, and demons?” He, then, answers his questions and says they are not mutually incompatible: “You, my wise friend, have asked well, and I will answer to your intellect’s approval; That the sun, sea, mountain and firmaments, human beings, demons, jinn, and angels, Whatever they may be, they are too inferior to speak of existence, before His Essence.” To be continued!
