they call active mind, willy-nilly, they suppose that this is
perfection too. They are so ignorant that they think of ignorance
as perfection. They suppose that it is an act of greatness to do
something willy-nilly, like the forces recognized by the
knowledge of physics. They fabled something called the active
mind. They say that everything comes to being from it. They
know Him as incapable and ineffective and as someone who
created the worlds, the skies, and everything in them. To this
poor person [Hadrat Imâm-i Rabbânî means himself], there is

And some other people think of them as scientists, as men of
positive knowledge, and suppose that they know something

Allahu ta’âlâ is the speaker of one word from eternity in the
past until eternity in the future. All His commandments are from
that one word. All His prohibitions are, again, from that one

one word, one letter, and even one dot. To say one dot, like
saying one moment, is due to there being no other appropriate
word. Otherwise, it would not be correct to say even one dot.
The wideness and the narrowness in Allah Himself and in His
Attributes are not like those which we know and with which we
are familiar. He is far from being wide or narrow, which is an
attribute for creatures.
Believers will see Allahu ta’âlâ in Paradise. But they will see
Him with a seeing which is not known. Seeing something which
is not known or comprehended, will be seeing which is not
comprehended. Maybe the one who sees will go into a state
that cannot be understood, and then will see. This is a mystery,
a puzzle, which has been communicated to the distinguished
ones of the Awliyâ in this world. This profound, difficult matter,
which is hidden to everybody, has been revealed to them. It has
not been understood, with the exception of the Ahl-i sunnat,
