by the comprehensive worship performed by Muhammad (UWBP) and is met in the practice of his religion. Also, wisdom and truth require that the world’s Creator displays His beauty in its utter perfection through some means. And the being who met that wish, and displayed and described His beauty most perfectly was self-evidently the person of Muhammad (UWBP).

It was also clearly Muhammad (UWBP) who, in response to the desire of the world’s Maker to exhibit and attract attentive gazes towards His perfect art within infinite beauty, heralded that art with the loudest voice.

Again it was necessarily Muhammad (UWBP) who, in response to the desire of the Sustainer of All the Worlds to proclaim His unity in the levels of multiplicity, announced all the degrees of unity, each at the greatest level of unity.

And, as is indicated by the utter beauty in beings and as is required by truth and wisdom, the world’s Owner desires to see and display in mirrors His infinite essential beauty and the subtleties and qualities of His exquisiteness. And again it was self-evidently Muhammad (UWBP) who, in response to that desire, acted as a mirror and displayed His beauty in the most radiant fashion, and loved it and made others love it.

Also, in response to the desire of the Maker of the palace of this world to exhibit His hidden treasuries, which are filled with the wondrous miracles and priceless jewels, and through them to describe and make known His perfections, it was again self-evidently Muhammad (UWBP) who exhibited, described, and displayed them in the most comprehensive fashion.

Also, since the universe’s Maker has made it in such a way that He adorns it with diverse varieties of wonders and embellishments and has placed in it conscious creatures so that they might make tours and excursions and ponder over it and take lessons, wisdom requires that He should desire to make known the meanings and value of the works of art to those who observe and ponder over them. And it was again self-evidently Muhammad (UWBP) who, in response to this desire of the universe’s Maker, by means of the All-Wise Qur’an, acted as guide in the most comprehensive fashion to jinn and man, indeed, to the spirit beings and angels.

Also, the universe’s All-Wise Ruler wishes, by means of an envoy, to cause conscious beings to unravel the obscure talisman containing the aims and purposes of the change and transformations in the universe and to solve the riddle of the three perplexing questions: “Where do beings come form?”, “What is their destination?”, and, “What are they?” And again it was self-evidently Muhammad (UWBP) who, in response to this wish of the All-Wise Ruler, unravelled the talisman by means of the Qur’an’s truths, and solved the riddle in the clearest and most comprehensive fashion.
