It
is clearly established from that which hath been mentioned that none may ever
justifiably claim: “We are begotten of the Intellect, while all others stem
from another origin.” The truth that shineth bright and resplendent as the sun
is this, that all have been created through the operation of the Divine Will
and have proceeded from the same source, that all are from Him and that unto
Him they shall all return. This is the meaning of that blessed verse in the
Qur’án which hath issued from the Pen of the All-Merciful: “Verily, we are
God’s, and to Him shall we return”. [Qur’án 2:156]
