O heedless man! Come to your senses! Know just what a compounded ignorance it is and  what a loss if in the face of the Sapient and All-Wise Ruler of Glory and Beauty’s making  Himself  known  to  you  and  loved  by you  by means  of all  His creatures in this brilliant,  endless fashion you do not recognize Him with belief and you do not make yourself loved by Him with your worship.

T h e   S e c o n d   T o p i c of the Second Matter: There is no place for partnership in the dominions of the universe’s All-Powerful and Wise Maker. For the infinitely perfect order present in everything does not accept partners. Many hands intervening in a  single matter confuses it. If there are two kings in a country, two governors of a town, or  two headmen in a village, disorder will occur in all their affairs. Similarly, the lowest official does not accept interference in his duties, which shows that the fundamental characteristic of rulership is independence and singleness. That is to say, order necessitates unity, and rulership necessitates independence.

If a temporary shadow of rulership in impotent man needy for assistance rejects interference in this way, the true, absolute rulership at the degree of dominicality of the One  who possesses absolute power will certainly reject interference with all its strength. Even the tiniest interference would spoil the order.

However, the universe has been created in such a way that to create a seed, the power to create a tree is necessary. And to create a tree, the power to create the universe is necessary. If any partner interfered in the universe, he would have to share in the tiniest seed. For the seed is a sample of the universe. So then two dominicalities which cannot reside together in the vast universe, would have to reside in a seed, and even   in  a   minute  particle.   This   is  the   most   precluded   and   meaningless  of impossibilities and false delusions. Know that unbelief and associating partners with God  are  an  infinitely  compounded  contradiction,  error,  and  falsehood,  for  they necessitate the impotence – even if only in a seed – of the Absolutely Powerful One who holds in the balance of His justice and order of  His wisdom all the states and attributes of the vast universe; and know that divine unity is an infinitely compounded truth, reality and verity, and say: “All praise and thanks be to God for belief!”
