Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : The Wise One, so the author (may Allah have mercy on him) says: "Ruling and Perfection". It is a ruling (hukm) if it is derived from "to rule" (hukima), and it is perfection (ihkam) if it is derived from "to perfect" (ahkama).
"Ruling and Perfection, each of which has *** two types as well, with firm proof"
The ruling (hukm) has two types, and perfection (ihkam) has two types. The ruling has two types: a cosmic ruling and a legislative ruling. Perfection has two types: perfection in the thing itself and perfection in its objective, that is, the objective of the thing. If you multiply two by two, it becomes four. He says:
"Ruling and Perfection, each of which has *** two types as well, with firm proof"
Now, the ruling has two types. What are its two types?
The student: Cosmic and legislative.
The Shaykh : Cosmic and legislative. And what are the two types of perfection? The first is intrinsic, meaning the thing is in itself in accordance with wisdom. The second is the objective, meaning the objective of the thing is in accordance with wisdom. Sometimes the ruling is expressed as the perfection of the thing by itself; we sometimes refer to it as the form. We say formal perfection and objective perfection, and the meaning is the same. Now.
