Ibn'Arabi - No other than He.

 


He is now as He was.
He is the One without oneness
and the Single without singleness….
He is the very existence of the First
and the very existence of the Last,
and the very existence of the Outward
and the very existence of the Inward.
So there is no first nor last, nor outward
nor inward, except Him,
without these becoming Him or is becoming them….
By Himself He sees Himself, and
by Himself He knows Himself.
None sees Him other than He,
and none perceives Him other than He.
His veil, that is phenomenal existence,
is a part of His oneness;
nothing veils other than He.
His veil is only the concealment of His existence in His oneness.
None sees Him other than He, no sent Prophet,
nor saint made perfect, nor angel
brought nigh know Him.
His Prophet is He, and His sending is He,
and His word is He.
He sent Himself with Himself to Himself….
There is no other and there is no existence other than He.
