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.
