Reading from the poet’s words: “And He is the Wise, and that is one of His attributes…” to his words: “…in the utmost perfection and excellence”
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The reader: “And He is the Wise, and that is one of His attributes *** There are also two types, what are they? Non-existence
Ruling and perfecting, and each of them *** Is also of two types, established by proof
And the ruling is divine and cosmic, and they *** Do not coincide, nor are they the same
Rather, that one exists without this one in isolation *** And the reverse is also the case, then they combine
The created will not be devoid of one of them *** Or of both, rather, they do not cease to exist
But the divine ruling is beloved to Him *** Forever, and it will not be absent from the cosmos
It is His religious command, and His messengers came *** To establish it in all times
But the cosmic is His decree *** In His creation with justice and excellence
It is all truth and justice, possessing His pleasure *** And the matter of the decreed is the whole matter
Therefore, we are pleased with the decree and we are displeased with the *** decreed when it is through disobedience
So Allah is pleased with the decree and is displeased with the *** decreed, are the two matters united?
So His decree is an attribute by which He subsists, and the *** decreed is nothing but the work of the Most Merciful”
The Shaykh : The human, be patient, and what do you have? The Most Merciful
The student: ...
The Shaykh : Yes
The student: Two copies
The Shaykh : Two copies, okay, leave them as two copies so that when we explain, we can see, yes
The reader: “And the cosmos is beloved and hated by Him *** And both are by the will of the Most Merciful
This explanation removes a confusion that has lasted *** In which people have perished in every time”
“And it resolves what they have tied with their”..
The Shaykh : They tied, they tied
The reader: “And it resolves what they have tied with their principles *** And their investigations, so understand it, understanding is explanation
Whoever agrees with the cosmic agrees with His displeasure *** Since he did not agree with the obedience of the Lord
Therefore, it is not counted as blame or woe”
“Therefore, it is not counted as blame”
The Shaykh : No, no.
The student: Listen
The Shaykh : It is not counted
The reader: “Therefore, it is not counted as blame or woe *** Praise with reward and with pleasure”
“And whoever agrees with the divine, it is not counted as a *** reward, but for him, when it is correct, are two”

“And the supreme wisdom is of two types, *** established by conclusive proofs
One of them is in His creation, Exalted is He *** Two types also, they do not separate”
“The rulings of this creation, for its creation”
The Shaykh : Perfecting
The reader: “The perfecting of this creation, for its creation *** Is in the utmost perfection and precision
And its issuance is for its highest goals *** And for it, praise is on every tongue
And the other wisdom is the wisdom of His law *** Also, and in it are those two descriptions
Its goals which are praised, and its being *** In the utmost perfection and excellence”
Ruling and perfecting, and each of them *** Is also of two types, established by proof
