And if they acknowledge the novelties of divine power, then abstaining from such questions will be void and futile, because incapacity is the status of creation. That eternal essence has always been seated on the throne of power and authority. And if He wills with a word, He can elevate all those on Earth to the heavens, and with another word, He can degrade the rank of creation. And no one has the right to say why and for what. Whoever says so has disbelieved in God, turned away from His power, fought with himself, contested His authority, and is among the polytheists in the tablets of glory and preservation. Likewise, He is capable that whenever He wills, He manifests the appearance of His Self among creation. And at the time of His appearance, one must seek from His manifest Self the argument and proof. If He comes with the argument that has always been among people, any other hesitation is false. In fact, if all those in the heavens and the Earth hesitate for less than a moment, they will be considered among the dwellers of hell, even if they all claim guardianship. He honors whomever He wills and humiliates whomever He wishes. He is not questioned for what He does.
