" Chapter: On the facilitation of the journey to Allah for those who affirm and are monotheists, and its impossibility for those who deny attributes and those who associate partners with Allah
O you who sit while your breaths move you *** like the movement of the post, not like the sluggish
How long will this slumber last, when the *** delegation of love has set out with the people of excellence
and their resolve has united them toward the heights, with no goad "
The Shaykh : No goad, no goad
The reader: " and their resolve has united them toward the heights *** with no goad for the riders or the camels
and their resolve has united them toward the heights *** with no goad for the riders or the camels
They mounted the resolute commands and ascended on their backs *** and they traveled, not turning toward comfort
They traveled slowly, then they came first *** like the guide who leads the caravan
They traveled by affirming His attributes, not by de- *** nial, distortion, or rejection "
The Shaykh : denial
The reader: " They traveled by affirming His attributes, not by de- *** nial, distortion, or rejection
They knew Him by His descriptions, so their hearts were filled *** with love and faith for Him
So those hearts flew toward Him with long- *** ing, when they were filled with gnosis
And the most intense in love for Him are the most knowledgeable *** of His attributes and the realities of the Qur'an
So love follows the perception according to its measure *** it strengthens and weakens, that is clear
And for that reason, the knowers of His attributes *** are His beloved, they are the people of this matter
And for that reason, the scholars of their Lord *** are His beloved, and of the law of faith
And for that reason, the deniers of them are the *** enemies, truly, they are the people of hatred
And for that reason, the ignorant of this and that *** are His hated ones "
The Shaykh : His hated ones
The reader: " And for that reason, the ignorant of this and that *** are His hated ones, truly, the people of hatred
And the life of the servant's heart is in two things, *** which are granted to him "
The Shaykh : which are granted to him, which are granted to him
The reader: " And the life of the servant's heart is in two things, *** which are granted to him, he lives through the ages
In this world and in the Hereafter, he will *** be the living one
In this world and in the Hereafter, he will *** be the living one, having contentment and excellence
The remembrance of the Divine and love for Him without as- *** sociating partners with Him, and these two are impossible
For the companion of denial, truly, like our *** bird, cut off from flight
Would he love one who denies His description *** and His rising above and His speech with the Qur'an
No, by Him who truly rose above the Throne *** speaking with the revelation and the Criterion
Allah is the Greatest, that is the favor of Allah, He grants *** it to whom He wills without reckoning
And you see the one left behind in the homes saying this *** is one of the hearths singled out for deprivation
Allah is the Greatest, that is the justice of Allah, He decrees *** it for whom He wills of mankind
And to Him belongs praise for this and that in the *** first and the last, they are two praises
Praise for the essence of the Lord, Exalted is His majesty *** and likewise praise of justice and excellence " .
