Highness is two relations: highness of place and highness of rank. As for highness of place: "And We raised him up to a high place" [Q 19:57]. The highest of places is the place upon which the millstone of the world of the spheres turns, namely the sphere of the sun, and in it is the station of the spirituality of Idrīs. Beneath it are seven spheres and above it are seven spheres, and it is the fifteenth. That which is above it is the sphere of the Red [planet, Mars], the sphere of Jupiter, the sphere of Kaywān [Saturn], the sphere of the [lunar] mansions, the starless (atlas) sphere, [which is] the sphere of the zodiacal constellations, the sphere of the Footstool, and the sphere of the Throne. That which is below it is the sphere of Venus, the sphere of the Scribe [Mercury], the sphere of the moon, the globe of ether, the globe of air, the globe of water, and the globe of earth. So inasmuch as it is the pole of the spheres, it is lofty in place. As for highness of rank, it belongs to us, I mean the Muhammadans.

The ibnalarabi.com texts sometimes print other hands inside a commentary: Bālī Zāde's glosses inside al-Qāshānī («إضافة بالي زادة»), and notes by the modern editor (al-muḥaqqiq) or compiler (al-jāmiʿ). We cut these out of the commentator's own text and show them as separate entries, each labelled with its author and the line of the file it came from.
Arabic of the commentaries from the OpenITI digital texts (each comment links to its line); Bosnevî's Ottoman Turkish from our collation of two OCRs of the 1873 Istanbul print (each comment links to its page scan at HathiTrust); passages matched to the commentators' quotations automatically.English translations of the commentaries and of the passage are AI (Claude) and marked. Differences are computed by comparing the words each commentator quotes with our working text; they may reflect a different manuscript reading, a paraphrase, or an alignment error. About this text.
