Allusion
In so far as they are accidents, the forces and forms which, it is claimed, are produced from the motion of particles cannot constitute the substantial differences in the species of beings. Accidents cannot be substances. Hence, all the families of the species and the distinguishing characteristics of substances are given existence (lit. invented; T. muhtera' A. mukhtara') out of nothing. Successive generation is one of the theoretical habitual conditions in the chains of beings. That, in brief, is the proof that things are given existence out of nothing (delil-i ihtira') If you want a clear, detailed exposition, enter the garden of the Qur'an, for there is nothing "fresh or dry"(6:59) in that place of promenading that is not found as a flower or a bud. If our allotted span permits, and divine will and assistance accompany us, the jewels which adorn this proof in the shells of the Qur'an's words will be set out in the forthcoming books.
Misconception and Note
If you ask: What is this nature that they're always going on about? What are these laws and forces that they are always muttering about?
We answer as follows: There is the code of divine natural laws (şeriat-ı fıtriye-i ilâhiye), which holds in order the acts of the elements and members of the body of creation, called the Manifest World (âlem-i şehâdet). It is this code of natural laws which is called nature or the divine printing press. Yes, nature consists of the totality of the theoretical laws in force in the creation of the universe. Each of what they call forces is an article of the code of laws, and the things they call laws are each a matter of the code. But because of the continuance of the code's articles, and, because the abilities of those who perceive the imaginary to be truth have prepared saline ground, delusion and imagination have prevailed and this delusory nature has become established and embodied, and has assumed external existence and become a cliché rather than imaginary. Delusions and erroneous views play many tricks like this.
