The Messenger said that they are four in this world, and eight on the Day of Rising. It is contained in body, spirit, nourishment and rank. There is only in the kingdom what was mentioned. Nourishment, which is provision, is both sensory and spiritual. That which we will mention in this chapter is the one method, which has the meaning of kingdom, through which benefit is connected.
Nourishment belongs to an elemental form and the nourishment of knowledges and gnoses of spirits.
This chapter is based on four issues. Each of these questions has two divisions, so there are eight. They are the bearers of the Throne, i.e. when the eight appeared, the kingdom was established and appeared, and its King sat on it. We will begin with the luminous body. The first bodies which Allah created were the bodies of the angelic spirits wandering with love in the majesty of Allah.
