The name of God, the apparent and the hidden
And the effects of believing in them
God Almighty is the apparent and the hidden
As God Almighty said
He is the first and the last, the apparent and the hidden
He is ignorant of everything
The meaning of this is as the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, explained it in the hadith
You are the Manifest, and nothing is above you
You are the inner, and there is nothing besides you
Narrated by Muslim
God Almighty is visible over everything and exalted above Him
There is nothing higher than Him, Glory be to Him
This indicates the greatness of His attributes, the Almighty
Everything fades away before this greatness
With this inner being, he is closest to everything
There is nothing closer to anyone than Him, Glory be to Him
As God Almighty said
We are closer to Him than our jugular vein
He is close to all of His creation through His knowledge and His surroundings
He knows the insides, insides, and secrets of things
He learns about secrets, consciences, hidden things, and the subtleties of matters
Believing in these two noble names is like this
It achieves glorification of the worshiped God and unites the heart towards Him
God becomes a habitat for him to turn to at all times
This is an effect of the two names
Where the apparent name denotes greatness, exaltation, and power over everything
And the inner name
It indicates the closeness of God Almighty to the servant through His kindness, mercy, and good provision
Secondly
Realizing God’s encompassing of the entire world
And all worlds are in His grip, Glory be to Him
This is the effect of his inner name
When this knowledge appears to the bitter person, this is to gain access to secrets and hidden things
Myrrh then cleanses his soul
Knowing that it is openly with God
His absence is corrected by his awareness that he has testimony
Thus, his inner being will be purified and his heart will be at peace
