Continuation of the recitation from the poet's words: "When you pass by the chapter of 'Imran" to his words: "Until the meeting with them, forever, two hands"
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The reciter: "When you pass by the chapter of 'Imran, you understand *** the intent, and the one who understands is a successful man of divine origin
And you know that the reality of ta'wil (figurative interpretation) lies *** between the literal truth and the second, which is metaphor
And you see that the ta'wil of the deniers is contrary *** to all of this; the two do not agree
They coined a meaning for the term, just as *** in terminology, and that is a worldly matter
And they came to heresy in the names *** and distortion of the words through slander
So they draped this term in deception and confusion, *** not for the blind and the one-eyed
So every hypocrite and denier followed *** the path of the Batini, the Qarmati, the deviant
In this, by their path, and he named his denial *** of the truth as ta'wil without distinction
And he brought a ta'wil like their ta'wil, *** inch by inch, crying out with the adhan
We interpreted as you interpreted, *** so come, let us judge you before the weigher"
The Shaykh : "Let us judge you" with the mīm in a state of sukūn (silence)
The reciter: "We interpreted as you interpreted, *** so come, let us judge you before the weigher
In the two scales, we place our interpretations *** and likewise your interpretations on the balance
This, and you have admitted that in our *** hands is clear justice and the balance
And you became students in it for us, *** is that not the language of the Greeks?
From us you learned, and we are your shaykhs, *** do not deny us the favor of kindness
So ask your questions with a question of understanding, *** and ask the principles, the mistress of the pillars
Where did they come from to you, and where are their roots, *** and in whose hands, O you who deny?
So for what reason are we disbelievers *** and you believers, while we are in agreement
That the texts are verbal evidence *** that never led us to certainty
So for that reason we made reason the judge, and you *** likewise, so we are in agreement
So for what reason have you thrown between us *** the war of wars, while we are like brothers
The principle is rational, and the word of revelation is *** remote, and we and you are close kin
We do not say by the texts, and you *** likewise, so we are in agreement
So leave our enmity, for behind us *** is that enemy, the heavy one full of grudges
They are your enemy and they are our enemies, *** so all of us are equal in the war against them
Those who ascribe a body to Allah, who said that *** Allah is above all of the creations
And to Him our speech and our actions ascend, *** and to Him the spirit of the believer rises
And to Him the Messenger ascended in truth, *** and likewise the son of Maryam, the ascender of bodies
And likewise they said that He is by His essence *** above the Throne, His power in every place
And likewise He descends every last night *** toward the heaven, so here are two directions
For the beginning and the end, and these are for the *** corporealists; where is Allah from these two?
And likewise they said that He is a speaker, *** the speech stood with Him, so O brothers
Can that be without letters or without *** sound? This is not possible
And likewise they said what we have narrated about them *** before, the words of one who likens the Most Merciful
So leave the spears for us and gather all of us *** as a group, the riders of the knights against them"
The Shaykh : ... "all of us" with the dāl in a state of dammah (vowel)
The reciter: All of us
The Shaykh : "All of us" with the dāl in a state of dammah (vowel)
The reciter: "Until we drive them, all of us, to *** the middle of the den, with torn flesh"
The Shaykh : "Torn"
The reciter: "Until we drive them, all of us, to *** the middle of the den, with torn flesh
"Indeed"
The Shaykh : "We created"
The reciter: "Indeed we created them by the texts, and we have *** no two hands until the meeting with them, forever".
The Shaykh : ... Is the time up?
May Allah have mercy on him. Look, the people of distortion and the philosophers demand peace between them to be a war against them. Allah is the Helper.
