Chapter Three Hundred and Sixty-Seven: On Knowing the Station of Trust (Tawakkul Reliance upon God)

Let God be praised for a revelation that is not grasped,
Due to the scarcity of those who speak of it, and its deficiency.
Indeed, trust (tawakkul) establishes the causes,
And without that, there is neither success nor a gatekeeper.

And He gives of the greatest good, and brings near the enemies and the beloved. And you say to the weak soul, "Stand firm." And challenge your concern and abandon the etiquettes to His creation, and rely [on Me]. For whoever follows my path to Him as an Imam (leader), to him He protects. And that is so, therefore you must leave what does not preserve the lineages. God, the Most High, said to His Messenger, may God bless him and grant him peace: "Say: God is sufficient for me." In the matter, it is necessary that this description be for the God, the Most High. For He, the Most High, is with us wherever we are: in the state of His descent to the sky, and in the state of His being in the establishment upon the Throne, and in the state of His being in the abyss, and in the state of His being in the earth and in the sky, and in the state of His closeness to the human. And along with that, it is a language that we cannot describe except with what is of us. For God transferred him as a servant from place to place so that he might see of His signs that were absent from him. Likewise, when God transfers the servant in his states, He shows him also of His signs. He transferred him in His states, similar to his saying, may God bless him and grant him peace: "I passed through the earth and saw radiance in it and landmarks, and the kingdom of my nation will reach what was related to me of it." And for that is His saying, the Most High, regarding Abraham, peace be upon him: "And thus We show Abraham the kingdom of the heavens and the earth, and that he might be of the certain." And that is from the right, because it is from vision and witnessing. And for that, He transferred a servant from place to place to show him from that place of the signs pointing to His Truth and His attributes, until he does not know from God the partnership. And He made him know: "Exalted is He who took His Servant by night from the Sacred Mosque to the Distant Mosque (al-Masjid al-Aqsa) Jerusalem which We have blessed around it, to show him of Our signs." And the Night Journey (Isra) nocturnal journey informed us with His saying: "To show him," the sign of the vision and the signs are not in the proportion of the places, the positional ones, so—

For I am the one whose capacity is the heart of His believing servant, so how could it not encompass His Prophet? But indeed, what He has is their occurrence; the heart of His Prophet was only to see His servant, the Glorified, Muhammad, the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, from the signs of our manifest kingdom. [He brought] Gabriel the Trustworthy with a beast called the Buraq the mount used during the Night Journey to teach him the knowledge of causes, like the one praying, the service is a net to learn the stability of causes which the World of the Kingdom and the Exaggeration placed. Verily, his exit is from the sandal, which is from a wooden separation and [unclear], and the standing of the earth, which is from the being of our upper body from an aim from [unclear] and [unclear], and between them is a light that improves, one that the people of God did not overcome in his truthfulness, the World of Creation and the World of Command and in the known natural bodies and what is above them. And from him, may God bless him and grant him peace, in his love for Gabriel and the Buraq, over the rest of the prophets of Prophethood, which brings him out to the secret of the Divine Messenger to show him with his wealth and with the pure. And in the exaggeration, they made him the most knowledgeable so that it would be from him as it is from a branch to its lineage. With that, the poor person combines two intentions, knowing the sites of matters, and he exits in his walking in a place in, may God bless him and grant him peace, the Holy House (Bayt al-Maqdis) Jerusalem and between the one who has the cities and the Chosen One, who sees by invalidating the causes, for they are from the states of the weighty; he was taken by night to that. So is that in the signs of God known? For the intended [meaning]—and if he stopped short of that and did not know, then he is a stationary one. And the Compassionate, as the servants, prevented him from that to establish the judgment of the servants, and [as] God ran them and benefited His Messenger, whom you see, may God bless him and grant him peace, how he described the prophets among those who are worried about the matter of remaining in what he is raised in, for he is "at a distance of two bows or nearer." In the Book, he is supported by the companion in the protection, the safe one, to the cities of occurrence, and the earth that pities the nature of the tribe to the root of the wounds, dragging the prophetic Buraq, so he rode upon it, and with him was Gabriel. So the Buraq flew with him to the protection, and the attainment for him was the goal to the secret. And Gabriel fulfilled with a cup from the cup of a letter, he ate it. So the time he sees in it is knowledge in us and the milk. So Gabriel said to the milk, "You have attained the instinct, the companion of the religion, through it [will be] your nation." And the king was, may God bless him and grant him peace, asking for the milk on the night of the Night Journey, just as it was to him in the sky. And when he reached it, Gabriel asked for permission, and the gatekeeper said, "Who is this?" He said, "Gabriel." He said, "And who is with you?" He said, "Muhammad." He said, "Has he been sent to?" He said, "Yes." So he opened. Gabriel placed with Muhammad, the blessings and peace of God be upon him, on his right, distinct followers of his heart, and on his left, white figures. On his right and on his death, he, may God bless him and grant him peace, shouts, and the angel, the bishop with the base that was not from Adam, as God, the Most High, willed upon those who are from the women, if he was from those who are on the right, from others, and if he was not with the people of love, who is carried upon him? And the virtue that is in the sky, as in, and to the second sky. Gabriel asked for opening for the second night as he did in the first. And it was said, "Speak." So Idris, peace be upon him, entered, with his love and his eye. Then he went to the loftiness of God to this sky, and dwelt in it, and lived with it from the Exalted who had mercy on us with Him. And he remained in it for, and he did not remain, an hour, for he knew that he had done it for one hour. And he increased with the numbers, as in His saying, "For he is a trustworthy bearer of good news." And we found in it in a state that he is the shoulder, he hears. And it was said to him, a voice coming, Joseph, peace be upon him. So he greeted him, and Joseph answered.
