الْأَوَّلِ قَبْلَ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ وَ لَا قَبْلَ لَهُ وَ الْآخِرِ بَعْدَ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ وَ لَا بَعْدَ لَهُ الظَّاهِرِ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ بِالْقَهْرِ لَهُ وَ الْمُشَاهِدِ لِجَمِيعِ الْأَمَاكِنِ بِلَا انْتِقَالٍ إِلَيْهَا لَا تَلْمِسُهُ لَامِسَةٌ وَ لَا تَحُسُّهُ حَاسَّةٌ هُوَ الَّذِي فِي السَّمَاءِ إِلَهٌ وَ فِي الْأَرْضِ إِلَهٌ وَ هُوَ الْحَكِيمُ الْعَلِيمُ He -azwj was the First before everything, and there is no ‘before’ for Him -azwj , and the Last after everything, and there is no ‘after’ for Him -azwj .
The Manifest upon every thing by the Subjugation of it, and the Witness to the entirety of the places without transferring to these. Neither can the touches touch Him -azwj not can the senses sense Him -azwj . [43:84] And He is That Who is God in the skies and God in the earth; and He is the Wise, the Knowing .
أَتْقَنَ مَا أَرَادَ مِنْ خَلْقِهِ مِنَ الْأَشْبَاحِ كُلِّهَا لَا بِمِثَالٍ سَبَقَ إِلَيْهِ وَ لَا لُغُوبٍ دَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ فِي خَلْقِ مَا خَلَقَ لَدَيْهِ ابْتَدَأَ مَا أَرَادَ ابْتِدَاءَهُ وَ أَنْشَأَ مَا أَرَادَ إِنْشَاءَهُ عَلَى مَا أَرَادَ مِنَ الثَّقَلَيْنِ الْجِنِّ وَ الْإِنْسِ لِيَعْرِفُوا بِذَلِكَ رُبُوبِيَّتَهُ وَ تَمَكَّنَ فِيهِمْ طَاعَتُهُ He -azwj Mastered whatever He -azwj so Intended from His -azwj creatures, from all of the shapes, not by an example which preceded to it, not did weariness enter upon Him -azwj regarding the creation of what He -azwj Created.
For His -azwj Side, He -azwj Began what He -azwj Intended, Beginning it, and Desired whatever He -azwj so Intended, Desiring it upon what He -azwj Intended from the two communities of the Jinn and the people, in order for His -azwj Lordship to be recognised by that, and Enabled His -azwj obedience among them.
