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
%is ele!tion sin!e the spirits of men !ir!led %is throne
a"aiting %is !ommand to ma#e %is reality be!omes
revealed in all the spiritual ran#s "ithin the realm of
majesty sovereignty and omnipoten!e6 and God spea#s the
truth and leads through the right path$
5he latter are divided into t"o groups and have been
!hosen by God for %is o"n reality is revealed
simultaneously in the heavenly individual degrees "ithin
the realm of the majesty and "ithin the realm of
sovereignty and the infernal individual degrees that are
etending along the psy!hi! substrate of the realm of %is
sovereignty$ All of them from the one in the highest ran#
until the one "ho is in the lo"est are permanently obje!tsof %is mer!y as if it "eren7t %imself "ith %is mer!y "ho is
upholding them and "ho updates himself through them
they "ould have no eisten!e$ 5hat is "hy %e has said
08hatever is in the heavens and the earth glori*es God
and %e is the Glorious and 8ise$ %e has the dominion of the
heavens and the earth gives life and !auses death and is
po"erful over all things$ %e is the +irst and the 2ast and the
Manifest and the %idden and %e is #no"er of all things ($$$)and %e is "ith you (all) "herever you may be and above all
