Madinatut-Tawhid/GPT4 2
These are the verses of the Book that clarify the verses with a call other than that of a crooked one to the verses of Allah and guidance and light and a reminder to those in the heavens and the earth and in it what brings people closer to the realm of manifest holiness and indeed this book contains every wise matter and has descended with truth from the wise, knowing one. In it is what makes people self-sufficient from everything and grants them the fragrance of holiness to the worlds and insists that there is no god but He who does what He wills by His command and rules what He desires and there is no god but He, to Him belongs creation and command. He gives life and death, then death and life, and indeed He is the Living One in the power of everlastingness who rules what He will and is not questioned about what He wills and in His grasp is the kingdom of creation, there is no god but He who is the Almighty, the Beautiful and indeed He is the Truth, there is no god but He who has always been holy apart from Him and exalted above the description of anything other than Him and no one precedes Him in knowledge and indeed He was and is all-encompassing in everything and still is, no one can attain certainty of His existence and none can reach the knowledge of His essence, and indeed He is the Rich, the Wise.
He has always been One in His essence, One in His attributes, and One in His actions, eternally unified in the Throne of Glory and still is, alone on the Chair of the Exalted. He is the Eternal, from whom nothing comes out and nothing combines with anything, He is the Highest, the Powerful, the Great. None has duly known Him other than His essence, and none has rightly known Him apart from His existential state. All that is created in innovation and appeared in invention is created by a Word of His command, there is no god but He, the Almighty, the Generous.
Indeed, what the Gnostics know in their highest stations, and what the seekers reach in their furthest ranks, is the knowledge of a self-revealing verse revealing itself to itself, and this is the ultimate knowledge if you are among those who seek the steps of knowledge. When the doors of access to His eternal essence were closed, and the wings of knowledge were cut off from flying to the kingdom of His command, He sent the Messengers from Him and sent down to them the books from His presence, and made their knowledge the knowledge of His Self, and this is the generosity that He gave to the possible ones, a blessing from Him and grace from His presence over all those in the kingdom. Whoever has acknowledged them is as if he has acknowledged Allah Himself and declared His Oneness. Whoever has approached them is as if he has approached the realm of manifest holiness. Whoever obeys them obeys Allah, and whoever turns away from them turns away from the face of the Mighty, the Empowered, the Living, the Exalted.
Indeed, Allah has ordained knowledge of Himself in the knowledge of their selves, and this is what He has ordained in the tablets of command from an empowered, capable One. This is the destination of the Gnostics in the utmost of their ascents if you are among the knowledgeable ones. Allah has not decreed any share beyond that for anyone, nor has He allotted any means for attaining it, and this is what the Truth has decreed upon itself if you are among the Gnostics. Can the weak ascend to the Eternal, Strong One? Say: Glory be to Allah, all are in need of Him and helpless in knowing Him. Is it appropriate for the transient to fly in the dominion of the Everlasting? Say: Glory be to Allah, all are helpless in His presence and bewildered in the manifestations of His command.
