The Shaykh :" Here are three aspects, so pay attention to them if you possess knowledge and understanding
of the opposite and the preferred, and so it is by impossibility, for our knowledge of the self and of the Most Merciful "
This means there are three aspects between the Creator and the created; pay attention to them if you possess knowledge and understanding of the opposite and the preferred, and so it is by impossibility, for our knowledge of the self and of the Most Merciful. He explained it, saying:
" So the opposite is knowing the Divine by the opposite of what *** is in the self of defect and of imperfection "

The Shaykh :" of defect and of imperfection " Yes, this opposite means that if you know yourself that you are created from nothing and will return to nothing, and that you are needy and imperfect, then know that the opposite of that is established for the Creator. The aspect is that the Creator is the Creator (Mujid) and the created is the created (Majid), and it is not possible for the Creator and the created to be equal; rather, there must be between them what is between creation and existence. Man is created, so it must be that he is on the opposite of the attributes of the Creator, who is Allah (Mighty and Majestic). If we are imperfect, then the Lord is perfect, and so on. Likewise, if we are defective, then the Lord is free from defect. Is our existence possible, or obligatory, or impossible? It is not possible to say it is impossible because we exist, and it is not possible to say it is obligatory because we are from nothing.[Al-Insan 76:1] Good.
