Today there is the text of a point of self-explanation, as where is a wonderful matter that is exposed from the robe of His name, and His description is deprived, and every beast in the hands of God is gathered and mentioned. Say: Die in your anger, O you who deny this virtue and die while listening to it! Indeed, He has appeared with the truth, and the manifestations of the names and their kingdoms, then their realities and their names, if you are of the knowers, circulate around it. And that [214] He will not need anyone else, not even the names that were among you, but everyone is in need of Him, and everyone of His bounty is from those who ask. So the beings of the names moan over your wrongdoing and your actions and seek refuge in God from you and those like you, and they say addressing you: O you who are heedless, we were created and sent by order from God, the Mighty, the Mighty, the Powerful, and we are servants of His presence, and we roam around His door and we are proud of our lineage to Him. And He was of no need for us, if you are of those who are touched. And when you were engulfed in the fire of envy and hatred, you did not accept that the One by whose command the kingdom of names was created attributes to Himself a name from it. And this is from the injustice of which there is no resemblance to creativity. And then the tribes of the cities of survival mourn your oppression, O plethora of oppressors.
And if you were called “Duni” by all the names, he would not be true to him, rather the truths of those names will curse you when they come out of your mouth and they will flee from you and return to the abode of Al-Aqsa, this holy, impermeable and sublime place. If you call darkness light, does that name apply to it? No fu Lord of the worlds! Or do you call porcelain pearls, should this name be given to it? No, your Lord is the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful! Do you object to Him whom all names prostrate to His rising, and they will not move except with His permission, and they will not be illuminated except by His bright, exalted, holy, shining, illuminating splendor? Hide away from God and do not follow your desires and do not oppose what God has sanctified for every name and drawing, then for every remembrance and statement, and He made it by Himself as a reference to Himself and by Himself recognizing Himself, the Mighty, the Impervious.

And if you were called “Duni” by all the names, he would not be true to him, rather the truths of those names will curse you when they come out of your mouth and they will flee from you and return to the abode of Al-Aqsa, this holy, impermeable and sublime place. If you call darkness light, does that name apply to it? No fu Lord of the worlds! Or do you call porcelain pearls, should this name be given to it? No, your Lord is the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful! Do you object to Him whom all names prostrate to His rising, and they will not move except with His permission, and they will not be illuminated except by His bright, exalted, holy, shining, illuminating splendor?
