Yes, everything is carried out with a superficial understanding, and in the end, the tendency to distinguish and separate according to the superficial profession of the superficial is as absurd as it can be. Similarly, by looking at everything metaphorically, in the end, the excessive love for the Western sect is even more absurd.
Only the philosophy of the Sharia, eloquence, and logic can show the proper measure and eliminate excess and separation. Yes, I say wisdom, because it is the good of the whole. There is evil, but it is partial. The rule is: abandoning the command that involves partial good for the sake of partial evil is itself committing a total evil. Choosing evil is necessarily a matter of free will.
Yes, the wisdom of the past had little good, much superstition, no foundation, ideas were confused and distorted, and ignorant common people made decisions. Therefore, the predecessors forbade wisdom to some extent. But today's wisdom, in terms of material aspects, has much more good and less falsehood; ideas are also free, and knowledge makes decisions. Indeed, every era must have its own ruling.
Sixth Introduction
For example, each command mentioned in the interpretation does not necessarily require interpretation. Knowledge strengthens knowledge. It is a condition not to dominate. It is an established principle that a person skilled in a craft like geometry can also be knowledgeable, capable, and brilliant in another craft like medicine.

First Purpose
All the infinitesimal particles of the universe, while fluctuating between the unlimited possibilities of essence, attributes, and other forms, illuminate the lamp of belief that declares the necessity of the Creator's existence and attests to the divine subtleties, the most refined of the hidden truths, by pursuing a single aspect and directing their interests toward astonishment and benefit.
Indeed, each particle, on its own, declares the Creator, just as each particle of the similar, intermingled, and repeated elements of the universe, in every station and proportion, maintains the balance of the general flow and directs their respective interests separately. Therefore, since they reveal and recite the intent and wisdom of the Creator, the proofs of the Creator are many times greater than the infinitesimal particles.
If you say: Why does not everyone see with their mind?
The answer is: Because of the perfection of manifestation... Yes, there are those who do not see due to the intensity of manifestation, like the sun's rays.
"Contemplate the lines of the beings, for indeed they are messages from the highest assembly to you."
That is, look at the lines of the chain of events written by the Eternal Artisan on the pages of the vast creation with the eye of wisdom and surround yourself with the thought of truth, so that the messages from the high angels may elevate you to the sublime certainty of the divine.
Sign
The heart, with the dot of supplication and the dot of reliance, does not forget the Creator. Even if many minds are idle in their activities, they cannot deny it. It is engaged in two important tasks. Namely: When one refers to the conscience—just as the heart spreads life to the body's extremities—knowledge of the Creator, which is the vital knot in the heart, also spreads life to the unlimited human potentials and the diverse and similar actions and inclinations, just like the heart. It gives taste, value, and enhances and prolongs it. This is the dot of supplication.

Sign
If the pattern is: "The evidence of creation is the collapse of existence. The collapse of existence is the companion of the annihilation of existence. However, our mind cannot imagine the annihilation of pure existence from pure creation and the pure creation from pure annihilation." I say in response:
Hey! Your justification and your confusion in imagining this issue is the result of a misleading analogy. Because you compare the creation and divine artistry of the Almighty to the craftsmanship and art of a servant. However, a servant cannot create or produce even a single atom from non-existence or create anything. Perhaps only in theoretical and compositional matters is there some craftsmanship and art. Yes, this analogy is misleading; people cannot free themselves from it.
In conclusion: Humanity has not seen in the universe such a power and might that can create purely or annihilate purely. However, the logical judgment always originates from the observed basis. Therefore, it looks at the divine works from the perspective of possibility. However, it is necessary to observe this matter from the side of the Creator's power, which is the source of the amazing works. Therefore, it is looking at this issue from the perspective of a supposed power, which is considered to be the power of the Creator, who is imagined to be a power of worship and the universe whose effects are only theoretical matters. However, it is necessary to observe this matter from the side of the Necessary of Existence, from the perspective of the perfect power.

The Seventh Issue
The vital essence of eloquence, or rather, the philosophy of expression or the wisdom of poetry, is to represent the nature and criteria of external things. For example, it is to place the laws of external truths in a metaphorical, symbolic, and imaginative manner, through analogy, through the influence of imagination, and in spiritual states and conditions. Thus, it is as if it reflects the rays of truth emanating from outside, like the descent of a revelation. It seems to imitate and mirror nature and reality through its own imaginative art and linguistic patterns.
Indeed, even if there is no truth in speech, one must seek help from its most similar forms and structures, and must rely on its essence. However, each essence has a specific form. A grain of wheat is not as much a symbol as a tree. If the philosophy of expression is not considered, rhetoric, like superstition, and imagination, like a flower, yield no benefit other than wonder.
Note
Similar to the philosophy of expression, rhetoric also has its own philosophy. That philosophy explains the wisdom of the actual. It is based on the well-known relationships mentioned in the books of rhetoric. For example, one object cannot have two agents. And the word "hel" (never) does not remain as a noun, as it does in the verb, but rather demands a connection. The agent is powerful and takes over the strong time. The issue is an example of the laws prevalent in the external world and the universe.
Warning
This wisdom of the actual, which is based on rhetorical and grammatical relationships, although it may not reach the level of the philosophy of expression, has great value. Especially, it transforms the empirical sciences, which are established through induction, into the forms of rational sciences.

Notice
Here are the general signs of the Creator's body; the detailed ones will be mentioned in the three books. If you say: "I want the general statement of the signs of unity here," I say:
The signs of unity are so numerous and widespread that they are sufficient without mentioning them in this book. Here is the proof of the unity of the Creator, which is hidden in the meaning of the verse: "If there were in them gods besides Allah, they would have been ruined." This is a guiding light for this path. Yes, independence is the essential attribute of divinity and a necessary consequence.
Observation
The similarities and interconnections among the signs and phenomena in the universe are so intertwined and interdependent that they respond to each other's needs, organize themselves, and revolve around a single point and axis of order. This points to the Creator's unity and perhaps even to the oneness of the Eternal Sovereign. Yes, the designer and creator of a machine is one.
"And in everything there is a sign that it is one."
The dimensions of the universe are the pages of the Book of the world,
The lines of the eternal universe are countless signs.
The printed design on the real preserved tablet,
Every existing being is a condensed word of meaning.
The meaning of "countless" and "boundless" in Hoca Tahsin's words is relative; it is not the true meaning of infinity.

The vital essence of eloquence, or rather the philosophy of expression or the wisdom of poetry, is to represent the nature and criteria of external things. For example, it is to place the laws of external truths in a metaphorical, symbolic, and imaginative manner, through comparison, through the influence of time, and through the poet's imagination. Thus, it represents the rays of truth that are drawn from the outside, like the light of a candle. It seems to imitate and reflect nature and reality through its own imaginative art and linguistic patterns.
Indeed, even if there is no truth in speech, it is necessary to seek help from its most similar form and structure, and to build upon its essence. However, each essence has a specific form. A grain of wheat is not as much a symbol as a tree. If the philosophy of expression is not considered, rhetoric, like superstition, and imagination, like a flower, yield no benefit other than wonder.
Note
Similar to the philosophy of expression, rhetoric also has its own philosophy. That philosophy explains the wisdom of the actual. It is based on the well-known relationships mentioned in the books of rhetoric. For example, one verb cannot have two subjects. And the word "hel" (never) does not remain as an adjective, but rather demands a verb. The subject is strong and takes over the time that is strong. The issue is an example of the laws that are prevalent in the external world and in existence.
Warning
This wisdom of the actual, which is based on the syntactic and morphological relationships of rhetoric, although it may not reach the level of the philosophy of expression, has great value. Especially, it transforms the empirical sciences, which are established through induction, into the forms of rational sciences.

The essence of speech is the meanings that form in different layers and in various levels of abstraction. For example:
Those familiar with chemistry know this. When a substance, for instance an element like gold, is produced, it passes through various pipes, diverse experiments, and different forms of organization in multiple layers. In the end, a part of it is separated. The formation of these abstract meanings is like a condensed map taken as a photograph of the abstract concepts:
When the heart acquires some specific characteristics from external influences, it begins to evolve. These abstract ideas, to some extent, reach the mind and attract it. Then, when part of this vapor-like meaning coincides, some tendencies and imaginations remain suspended while others become more defined, the mind is drawn to them. Then, when part of this liquid-like meaning condenses and separates, the mind incorporates it into speech. Then, when this separated part manifests and appears in a specific form, the mind, according to its nature, expresses it with a specific speech.
Therefore, the mind incorporates the formed into a specific form of speech. It hands over the unformed to the understanding. It attributes the uncondensed to signs and qualities of speech. It refers the undefined to the structure of speech and binds it with the expressions and characteristics of the speaker who accompanies the speech.

Based on these points, I say: It is a great ignorance to attribute certain reported sayings (ehâdis-i mevzu) to individuals like Ibn Abbas, either out of preference or rejection, through persuasion and encouragement. Indeed, the truth is self-sufficient. The truth is rich. The corruption of hearts is sufficient. The authentic sayings of the interpreters of the Qur'an are enough for us. And we are satisfied with the true histories that have been weighed on the scale of logic.
Fifth Introduction
When metaphor falls from the hands of knowledge into the hands of ignorance, it rebels against truth and opens the door to falsehood. For example:
When metaphors and similes are taken from the sacred right hand of knowledge and stolen away, or when metaphors and similes persist for a long time, they rebel against truth, become empty of taste and clarity, and turn wine into illusion, and a noble and chaste person into a slanderer and a gossip.
Indeed, the clarity of metaphor allows the ray of truth to pass through it. But when it rebels against truth, it becomes sharp and cuts off the real truth. However, this transformation is a natural law. If you want proof, look into the changes and transformations of language, and the secrets of repetition and overlap. If you listen carefully, you will hear that:
Many words, stories, imaginations, or meanings that lead to the pleasures of the predecessors, because they are not arbitrary or ornamental, and because they do not suit the youthful desires of the successors, have led to a tendency for transformation, innovation, and bold change. This rule applies not only in language, but also in imagination, meaning, and storytelling. Therefore, one should not judge everything based on the literal meaning.
