Ali felt that this great cosmos is cooperating, integrating, therefore when the wind intensified it would move the twigs powerfully, and when it startled it would pluck out the trees and the elements would arouse for it; and when it softened and flew over the land lightly, the surfaces of water would be intoxicated and things below them would cooled down.

Ali felt that if the sun cast its light over the earth the marks of the earth would appear to the eyes and minds, and if it clears out, it would put on it a veil of darkness. He felt that plant grows, flourishes, foliates, and may fruit – and it is a thing which differs, in shape and aim, from the rays of day, the body of air, the drop of water, the dust of land; but it does not grow nor foliate except by this ray, this body, this drop, this dust.

He felt also that the water whose “waves were stormy and whose surges leapt one over the other” as he says is but “loaded on dashing wind and breaking typhoons” and that the wind which “Allah blew its motion and spread it wide” is ordered – despite this far source – to raise up deep waters and to intensify the waves of the oceans; pushed it fiercely into the firmament throwing its front position on the rear and the stationary on the flowing till its level was raised”.

And one of the decoration of the earth, and joy of hearts are these stars and planets, light of piercing star the shining sun and luminous moon. Ibn Abi Talib felt from an of that, that this cosmos, which is on the right, is but one whose elements are connected with each other in a cooperating and supporting manner, and that its powers have right imposed for some over some others and they are equivalent in all of its sides, inseparable by force of their existence and continuance.

He realized into his depths that reciprocation is true root and branch between these jointed cooperating elements and human beings who have to be cooperating and equivalent by force of their existence and continuance. They are of this cosmos things; what happens to all of its elements happens to them out of genius of joining forces which Ali sees it to be imposed on them; without which they do not live nor remain.
