Madinatut-Tawhid/English1
Know then, and understand, that the concept of monotheism has various levels, worlds, and positions that no one knows of except Allah, the Omnipotent, the Mighty, the Beautiful. Even if I wanted to explain to you in detail about this position, which Allah has taught me through his grace, it cannot be contained on tablets or fulfilled by oceans. If I were to write about these sacred and sublime words, the ink would never suffice. Allah never had any limitations in his teachings, and he has described what was and what will be. If you are knowledgeable, he will continue to describe the different levels that even the most learned person has not heard of and will never know. Indeed, if he were to fold all knowledge that he has taught from the beginning of time to present, it will only be close to what he has hidden from humankind. There is no god but Allah, the Almighty, the Powerful, who holds the kingdom of the universe in his hands. He wipes out what he wishes with his command and establishes what he wills with his power. He has holy and preserving tablets. Indeed, He is the one who has always been sanctified from everything you have ever known, and He comes to everything with his miraculous knowledge. Indeed, the essence of monotheism and determination is equal with him. However, most of humankind are ignorant and unaware of this reality. If the verses of monotheism are erased, and determination is ruled out, this is a clear example of what is true for Allah, and no one can ask Him why. The matter is what he shows from his power, and the ruling is what he judges from his own will. Indeed, he is the Almighty and Omnipotent.
