Ninth window: The worship of all beings shows an Absolutely Worshipped
One. Those who penetrate the world of spirits and the inner dimension of things,
where they meet with angels and spirit beings, testify that all angels and
spirit beings worship an Eternally Worshipped One in perfect obedience. We all
observe that all living beings perform duties in perfect order in a manner
resembling worship, and that all inanimate things render services with perfect
submission in a like manner. All of this shows a True Object of Worship's
necessary Existence and Unity.
This is also the case with the true knowledge of all saints knowing Him
(which bears the weight of consensus), all thankful people's fruitful thanks,
the blessed recitations of those who recite God's Names, the praises (which
increase Divine bounties) of those who praise God, the pronouncements and
descriptions of Divine Unity (based on decisive proofs) of those who believe in
it, the true love of all lovers of God, the true will and desires of those who
seek Him, and the earnest searching and inclinations of those who turn to Him.
All of this shows the necessary Existence and Unity of that Eternally Worshipped
One, the One Who is Recognized, Mentioned, Praised, Beloved, Desired, and
Sought, as well as His Lord‑ship's perfection.
Also, the acceptable worship and supplications of perfected people, as well
as their spiritual radiance, visions, and illuminations, demonstrate that
Everlasting and Eternally Worshipped One's necessary Existence and Unity and His
Lordship's perfection. These three aspects open up a broad, light‑giving window
onto Divine Unity.
