Kitab-i-Iqan/Page5/GPT4 81

And this is the cloud that splits and tears open the skies of knowledge and wisdom for all who are on earth, as it says: "On the day the sky will split open with clouds." And just as clouds prevent people's eyes from observing the physical sun, likewise, these mentioned affairs prevent people from perceiving that true Sun. This is mentioned in the Book from the language of the disbelievers: "And they say, 'Why does this messenger eat food and walk in the markets? Why was not an angel sent down to him, to be a warner with him?'"

Examples of this are the apparent poverty of the prophets, apparent trials, and the physical necessities of the body like hunger, sickness, and possible accidents. When these conditions appeared from those holy bodies, people were left bewildered in the deserts of doubt and suspicion, and the wilderness of illusion and confusion. They wondered how a soul could come from God and show dominion over all who are on earth and attribute the reason for the creation of the universe to itself, as it has said: "If it were not for you, I would not have created the orbits." And yet, it is subjected to these minor affairs?
