The Fifth Flash

 

 

 

A treatise  was  to  be  written  that  would  explain  in  fifteen  degrees  a  highly significant meaning of the verse, For us God suffices, and He is the Best Disposer of Affairs,”(3:173)  but  it  has  been  postponed  for  now  since  it  would  have  been concerned more with reflective thought and the recollection of God than with reality and intellectual knowledge. In fact, the important treatise called The Stairway of the Practices of the Prophet and Antidote for the Sickness of Innovation was originally known as the Fifth Flash, but since it comprised eleven points, it was designated the Eleventh Flash, and the Fifth Flashs place remained unoccupied.
