When the night grew dark upon him, he beheld a planet and said: \u2018this is my Lord\u2019. Then, when it had set, he said: \u2018I love not things which set.\u2019<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>And when he saw the moon rising, he said: \u2018This is my Lord.\u2019 Then when it set, he said: \u2018Unless my Lord lead me, I must needs become one of the folk who have gone astray.\u2019 And when he saw the sun rising, he said: \u2018This is my Lord. This is the greatest.\u2019 Then when it set, he said; \u2018O my people, verily I am innocent of all that ye place beside God. Verily I have turned my face towards Him who created the Heavens and the Earth.\u201d (6:75-9)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Shaykh al-&#8216;Alawi&#8217;s commentary on these verses reads:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He did not say \u2018This is my Lord\u2019 by way of making comparisons, but he spake thus in utter affirmation of God\u2019s Transcendence, when there was revealed to him the Truth of all Truths that is indicated in the noble verse: <em>Whereso\u2019er ye turn, there is the face of God<\/em>.

Nothing is nearer to Me than any other thing, and nothing is farther from Me than any other thing, except inasfar as I establish it in nearness and farness.<\/p>\n<p>2. Farness is made known by nearness, and nearness is made known by spiritual experience: I am He whom nearness does not seek, and Whom spiritual experience does not attain.<\/p>\n<p>3. The least of the sciences of my nearness is, that thou shouldst see the effects of my regard in everything, and that it should prevail in thee over thy gnosis of it.<\/p>\n<p>4. The nearness which thou knowest is, compared with the nearness I know, like thy gnosis compared with my gnosis.<\/p>\n<p>5. My farness thou knowest not, and my nearness thou knowest not, nor my qualification knowest thou as I know it.<\/p>\n<p>6. I am the Near, but not as one thing is near to another: and I am the Far, but not as one thing is far from another.<\/p>\n<p>7. Thy nearness is not thy farness, and thy farness is not thy nearness: I am the Near and the Far, with a nearness which is farness, and a farness which is nearness.<\/p>\n<p>8. The nearness which thou knowest is distance, and the farness which thou knowest is distance: I am the Near and the Far without distance.<\/p>\n<p>9. I am nearer to the tongue than its speech when it speaks. Whoso contemplates Me does not recollect, and whoso recollects Me does not contemplate.<\/p>\n<p>10. As for the recollecting contemplative, if what he contemplates is not a reality, he is veiled by what he recollects.<\/p>\n<p>11. Not every recollector is a contemplative: but every contemplative is a recollector.<\/p>\n<p>12. I revealed Myself unto thee, and thou knewest Me not: that is farness. Thy heart saw Me, and saw Me not: that is farness.<\/p>\n<p>13. Thou findest Me and findest Me not: that is farness. Thou describest Me, and dost not apprehend Me by My description: that is farness. Thou hearest my address as though it were from thy heart, whereas it is from Me: that is farness. Thou seest thyself, and I am nearer to thee than thy vision of thyself: that is farness.<\/p>\n<p>From\u00a0<i>The Book of Spiritual Stayings<\/i>\u00a0of Al Niffari.
