Az Zimarul Ma'arifah (the fruit of Gnosis)

A'udzu billahi minash shaitanir rajeem

Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim

May the blessings be upon the beloved the !hosen one the

reliable guide the lamp "orlds from the beginning to the

end and li#e"ise be poured on his family his des!endants

his !ompanions and servants$ May the blessings of God be

upon all "ho "ere in all the "orlds and spilled endlessly

upon "ho has re!eived me informing me by %is !ommand

about all & didnt #no"$

&t has not been but be!ause %im that everything "as

manifested "ithin %is o"n eisten!e from %im and to"ard

%im$ %en!e the Gnosti!s of the great path provided "ith

proimity are not interested in anything other than %im for

the perpetual inu of %is Real gift ma#es them *nding

permanent etin!tion and subsisten!e of all that their

senses per!eive in him$

+or them there is no mira!ulous visions and their seats arethose of the *rm establishment as the moons of the

intelle!ts are d"arfed by the light of the real sun and

therefore everything they see is %is theophany snat!hing

their hearts ma#ing perishing by the majesty of %is

essen!e all se!ondary !auses su!h as the ,ualities or a!ts

giving true !ertainty an realization of the t"o testimonies$

And %e has gra!ed them "ith the #no"ledge of theimmutability of the se!ret of se!rets over the !hanges to

"hi!h their eternal !onstitutions are inevitably subje!ted

be!ause as they remembered after forgetting %e made

them taste the immortality granted to them in the *rst

!reation the spiritual subsisten!e "hi!h perfe!ted them in

the #ingdom of %is sovereignty and the full enjoyment in

eternity beyond all !y!les$

&t "as %is #no"ledge of %imself revealed "ithin their hearts

that has freed them not their a!tions$ &t "as not by their

virtues and "hat someone believes that these deserve in

return not for sins and vigorous turn in repentan!e that

usually !ontinue after it be!ause this has never belongedto them$ &f it has never belonged to them it !ould be fairly

said then that is be!ause of these virtues and those sins

"hi!h have been ealted beyond the !on*nes of the

#ingdom of majesty-

&t has referred to this %imself "hen %e ordered Gabriel to

tell to the Messenger (.A.)/ 0And God has !reated you and

has !reated everything that you do0$ And the taste of these"ords of %im and the #no"ledge that %e gives them about

the subtle points of the pre1eisten!e is that they have

al"ays said that 0the virtues of the righteous are the vi!es

of those "ho are the !losest0

%e has given them "ithin the !ommunity of men the most

perfe!t realization and made manifest to them this reality

from the moment %e sho"ed that %imself is the path on

"hi!h %e ma#es them mar!h "ith his de!rees al"ays "ith

righteousness from %im and to"ard %im and that su!h a

path is not about anything other than %im and all praise

belongs only to God the 2ord of the "orlds$

Mean"hile the righteous virtuous sapient and other

servants !arrying out the truth in any other stations than

those stations of the foremost being of lights or dar#ness

all of them share the !onvi!tion that their steps get them ontheir "ay follo"ing their desires indulging themselves "ith

"hat serves them for it "hi!h is di3erent (in this imposed

veil of ignoran!e) to %im and by this !onvi!tion they al"ays

ma#e plans ignoring the 4e!reeing and even the de!ree

and its inevitability$

 5he formers have been provided "ith light guidan!e

!ertainty and vision so the infused gnosis by the mostMer!iful releases their real !ons!iousness from the e3e!ts

of the de!ree be!ause to them there is nothing but %im in

every moment and they eperien!e every de!ree as one of 

the inde*nite "ays %e !hooses to manifest himself

!ontinuously "ithin the universal manifestation #no"ing

that they all o!!ur simultaneously in the metaphysi!alrealm in perfe!t balan!e and for that reason (these

manifestations) are etin!t in %im from the prin!iple

"ithout beginning to *nal beyond the end$ 5hey have made

it obeying the pillars of the "orld gradually giving up along

the *rst phase of the spiritual path everything in its in"ard

beings but espe!ially their "ills and determinative desires

be!oming !onforming and being pleased "ith %is "ill and

desire and this is the gem and the se!ret that leads those

"ho see# divine !ompla!en!y to a most perfe!t degree

"hi!h is the spiritual poverty$ And all of them are bound by

simultaneously in the heavenly individual degrees "ithin

the realm of the majesty and "ithin the realm of
