About Allah’s Greatness and Sublimity

Praise be to Allah Who lies inside all hidden things and towards
Whom all open things are guided. He cannot be seen by the eye of an
onlooker, but the eye which does not see Him cannot deny Him while the
mind that proves His existence cannot perceive Him. He is so high in
sublimity that nothing can be more sublime than He, while in nearness,
He is so near that no one can be nearer than He. But his sublimity does
not put Him at a distance from anything of His creation, nor does His
nearness bring them on equal level to Him. He has not informed (human)
wit about the limits of His qualities. Nevertheless, He has not prevented it
from securing any essential knowledge of Him. He is such that all signs of
existence testify for Him till the denying mind also believes in Him. Allah
is sublime beyond what is described by those who liken Him to things or
those who deny Him.
