…the lovers of the face of the Beloved have said: “O Thou,
the One Whose Essence alone showeth the way to His Essence, and Who is
sanctified above any likeness to His creatures.” [Hadíth] How can utter
nothingness gallop its steed in the field of preexistence, or a fleeting shadow
reach to the everlasting sun? The Friend [The Prophet Muhammad] hath said, “But
for Thee, we had not known Thee,” and the Beloved[The Prophet Muhammad] hath
said, “nor attained Thy presence.”
