5. `Ali ibn Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn `Imran al-Daqqaq said: Muhammad ibn Ya`qub said: The meaning of” “recognize Allah through Allah” is that Allah, the Mighty and High, created persons, colors, and substances. Therefore, the essences are bodies and the substances are spirits. He, the Mighty and High, resembles neither body nor spirit. Nobody has any effect or cause in creation of a sensitive, perceiving spirit. He is Matchless in the creation of spirits, and bodies. Therefore, whoever negates from Him the two likenesses – the likeness of bodies and the likeness of spirits – recognizes Allah through Allah. And whoever views Him as a body, a spirit or a light, has not recognized Allah through Allah.
