These people openly declare their rejection of both revelation and reason, and thus they fall under His words:

“Do you suppose that most of them listen or understand? They are but like cattle—indeed, they are even further astray from the path.” [al-Furqan: 44]

They oblige themselves to withdraw from intellect, from outward sense-perception, and from the revealed Law. Hence their shrewdest spokesman, al-Tilimsani, says:

Tell your senses: vanish in passion, melt away in rapture for it,
and bid the loss of reason: do not cease.
Keep silent until you see it speaking within you;
and if you then find a tongue that can speak—speak!

A fuller discussion of these people belongs elsewhere. What matters here is that the Christians claim the divinity depends on the humanity with which it united, while these thinkers claim that the Lord of all worlds depends on everything other than Himself—on those “immutable entities” that are fixed in non-existence.

Indeed, whoever says that the Lord of the worlds has united with something other than Himself necessarily makes each of the two parties to that union dependent on the other, with each undergoing transformation and a change in its very reality. This is not the case with intelligible indwelling, for indwelling is only conceivable when the indwelling entity subsists in a locus and therefore needs it—whether one is speaking of the indwelling of attributes and accidents in their subjects and substances, or of the indwelling of the essences themselves.
