hearts turn to Him, all creatures seek Him in their need, and people raise their palms to Him when supplicating and asking. They point upward to Him with their fingers, affirming His oneness and acknowledging His greatness. This is contrary to those among the people of misguidance and falsehood who deny Allah’s exaltedness. In reality, they deny that He is the One, the Eternal Refuge; reject the true reality of supplicating Him and sincerely turning to Him; sanction associating partners with Him; and negate His attributes of perfection. Allah alone is whose help is sought, and He alone guides to the straight path.
تقصده القلوبُ، وتصمدُ إليه الخلائق، ويرفعون أكفّهم إليه عند دعائهم وسؤالهم، ويشيرون إليه في علوِّه بأصابعهم موحِّدين له مقرِّين بعظمته، خلافاً للمنكرين لعلوِّ الله من أهل الضلال والباطل، فإنَّ هؤلاء في الحقيقة ينكرون حقيقة كونه أحداً صمداً، ويجحدون حقيقةَ دعائِه وصدق التوجه إليه، ويسوغون الإشراك به، ويعطِّلون صفاتِ كماله، والله المستعان، وهو الهادي وحده إلى سواء السبيل.
