The reader: "Knowledge: Allah said, His Messenger said *** The Companions said, they are the people of true understanding.
What is knowledge? It has set you up for disagreement. What is knowledge? It has set you up for disagreement in foolishness *** Between the Messenger and the opinion of so-and-so.
No, and not denying the attributes of our Lord *** In the form of transcendence and glorification.
No, and not denying the elevation of the Creator of the *** Worlds above all who possess the worlds.
No, and not setting aside the texts and that they *** Do not convey the realities of faith.
For they do not give you certainty, no, nor *** Knowledge, so you have set them aside from certainty.
And knowledge, in your view, is attained without them *** By the garbage of thoughts and minds.
You called it decisive rational proofs *** That deny the apparent meanings and carry meanings.
No, and not counting the opinions of the *** People and binding them with enumeration and calculation.
No, and not interpretation and alteration *** And distortion of the two revelations with lies.
No, and not doubts and skepticism and *** Hesitation, in which there is no true understanding.
These are your sciences, for the sake of which *** You have made war on us, O people of true understanding.
A chapter on the truce and safety established between the deniers of attributes and the people of atheism, the party of Genghis Khan.
O my people, you made a truce with the deniers of the Essence and *** Attributes, a truce that entails safety.
O my people, you made a truce with the deniers of the Essence and *** Attributes, a truce that entails safety.
And you were deceived, and here they launched a raid on you *** You clashed with them with a great uproar.
There was no one killed among them *** No, and there was no captive who suffered.
And you were gentle in speech or you acted *** And you came in your research with paint.
And you sat with them in your gatherings with the *** Teacher, with manners and the scale.
And you humbled yourselves to the people with all humility *** Until they lent you "
The Shaykh : They lent you
The reader: " And you humbled yourselves to the people with all humility *** Until they lent you the weapon of the aggressor.
So you waged war with their weapon against the armies of *** Affirmation, the traditions, and the Qur'an.
And for this, you struggled with them at your *** Sacred place, with gentleness and indication.
And for this, you were effeminate toward them *** No eye of yours opened for them.
For fear of their reclaiming their weapon *** So you would appear after being stripped like women "
The Shaykh : ...
The reader: " For fear of their reclaiming their weapon *** So you would appear after being stripped like women. And you debated with the one who affirms by *** Declaring him a disbeliever, misleading him, and aggression.
And you turned your back on him and you *** Raised a clamor "
The Shaykh : ...
The reader: " And you turned your back on him and you *** Raised a clamor against him with the army of Satan.
By Allah, this is a suspicion, its *** Content is hidden only from the bulls.
This is, and between them is the greatest difference *** Two groups disputing in the Most Merciful.
This one denies the essence of the Deity and its description*** A clear denial, not one of concealment
But this is a description of the Divine "
The Shaykh : Description, but this is a description of the Divine
The reader: " But this is a description of the Divine with every *** Attribute.
But this is a description of the Divine with every *** Attribute of absolute, divine perfection.
And the negation of defects and flaws is like the negation of *** Likening the Most Merciful to a human.
And the negation of defects and flaws is like the negation of *** Likening the Most Merciful to a human.
So for what purpose was your war against him *** With the limit, unlike the denier of the Most Merciful?
We said, yes, this one who ascribes a body to Allah is a disbeliever *** Was that complete faith?
The fire does not go out, the fire does not go out, the fire of your anger against *** This one who ascribes a body to Allah, O people of the fires.
So Allah kindles it and burns its heat *** On the Day of Reckoning, the distorter of the Qur'an.
O our people, you have committed a plan *** That no one of true understanding has ever committed.
And you aided your enemies with your agreement *** With them on something of falsehood.
They took hold of your forelocks and shaved you *** So you became dragged in disgrace and humiliation.
You said with their words and you threw to break them *** How, and yet they have locked the proof against you.
You said with their words and you threw to break them *** How "
The Shaykh :" How, and you threw to break them *** How, and yet they have locked the proof against you "
The reader: " You said with their words and you threw to break them *** How, and yet they have locked the proof against you.
And you broke the door behind which are *** The enemies of the Messengers of Allah and faith.
So the enemy came, and you have no fighting them *** And no war with them for all time, two hands.
So you became their captives with their ropes *** Your hands were tied to the jaws.
They came upon you like beasts that met *** A red, barren mare with long legs.
They charged at you with what you charged at *** Us, the charge of the knights.
Had you not taken our side, you would have been *** In the middle of the den, torn to pieces.
Had you not taken our side, you would have been *** In the middle of the den, torn to pieces.
But we, you sought help with us and with our words *** You charged at them with the charge of the brave.
And you affirmed the affirmation when you charged with it *** And you set aside the denial, a set-aside of humiliation.
And you came raiding us with a detachment *** From the army of denial and disbelief.
Who is more ignorant of the right of Allah than you *** And more deserving of ignorance and aggression?
By Allah, the young man does not know of his affliction *** And the heart is under the seal and abandonment ".
