أَمَرَكَ فِى هَذِهِ الدَّارِ بِالنَّظَرِ فِى مُكَوَّنَاتِهِ وَسَيَكْشِفُ لَكَ فِى تِلْكَ الدَّارِ عَنْ كَمَالِ ذَاتِهِ

In this abode He has commanded you to look upon the things He has brought into being; in that abode He will unveil to you the perfection of His Essence.

Ibn ʿAbbād

رؤية العباد لربهم عز وجل على حسب تجليه لهم ففى هذه الدار يرونه ظاهرا فى المكونات بأنوار بصائرهم لما تجلى لهم من وراء حجابها ولذلك أمرهم بالنظر فيها وفى الدار الآخرة يرونه معاينة بأنوار أبصارهم من غير حجاب ولا مانع وهذا غاية الظهور والكشف

The servants' vision (*ruʾya*) of their Lord, Mighty and Majestic is He, accords with His self-manifestation (*tajallī*) to them. In this abode they see Him as manifest in the created things, by the lights of their inner insights (*baṣāʾir*), since He has manifested Himself to them from behind the veil (*ḥijāb*) of those things. For this reason He commanded them to contemplate them. In the abode of the Hereafter they see Him by direct beholding (*muʿāyana*), by the lights of their eyes, with no veil and no barrier, and this is the utmost degree of manifestation (*ẓuhūr*) and unveiling (*kashf*).
