 they have gone so far in their glorification that they have nullified everything that is understood from greatness and have brought his condition closer to that of the dead who has no knowledge of what is happening in the world except that he differs from the dead in his feelings about himself only. and this is what god does with those who deviate from his path and turn away from the path of guidance denying his saying i did not make them witness to the creation of the heavens and the earth or to the creation of themselves those who think evil of god believing that the essence of divine matters is controlled by human powers deceived by their minds claiming that there is an alternative to imitating the messengers and following them.
فقد انتهى منهم التعمق في التعظيم إلى أن أبطلوا كل ما يفهم من العظمة وقربوا حاله من حال الميت الذي لا خبر له مما يجري في العالم، إلا أنه فارق الميت في شعوره بنفسه فقط. وهكذى يفعل الله بالزائغين عن سبيله والناكبين لطريق الهدى المنكرين لقوله ما أشهدتهم خلق السموات والأرض ولا خلق أنفسهم، الظانين بالله ظن السوء، المعتقدين أن الأمور الربوبية يستولي على كنهها القوى البشرية، المغرورين بعقولهم زاعمين أن فيها مندوحة عن تقليد الرسل وأتباعهم.
