Thus one says, \u201cThis body is great and this body is greater (<em>a\u02bf\u1e93am<\/em>) than that body\u201d if it is more extended in respect of length, width and depth.<\/p>\n<p>Then (you must also) know that it is divided into (a) the \u201cgreat\u201d(ness) of which the eye receives an impression and (b) that whose extremities it is inconceivable that vision could grasp completely, such as the earth and the heavens. Thus one says that the elephant is \u201cgreat\u201d and the mountain is \u201cgreat\u201d, and yet vision is able to grasp their extremities completely. Either of these is \u201cgreat\u201d in comparison with that which is smaller than it. As far as the earth is concerned, it is inconceivable that vision should be able to grasp its extremities completely, and this is also true of the heavens. It is to these objects in the realm of those things subject to physical vision that the term \u201cgreat\u201d is applied in an absolute sense.<\/p>\n<p>(You must) understand that there is also a difference in respect of those things that are apprehended by the powers of mental perception. Human reason grasps completely the core (<em>kunh<\/em>) of the real nature of some of them and falls short in the case of others. That portion of them which reason falls short of completely is divided into (a) that which some may conceivably grasp although the understanding of the majority falls short of it, and (b) into that concerning which reason cannot conceivably grasp the core of its real nature completely. This last one is the absolute \u201cGreat One\u201d who exceeds all the limits of human understanding so that the comprehension of His essential being (kunh) is inconceivable. And that One is God Most High.<\/p>\n<p>The \u201cgreat\u201d among men are the prophets and the scholars. When the wise man knows something of their attributes, his bosom is filled with veneration and his heart is so replete with veneration that no room remains in it (for anything else). The prophet is \u201cgreat\u201d in respect of his people, the shaykh in respect of his disciple and the teacher in respect of his student, since the reason (of these subordinates) is incapable of comprehending the core of the master\u2019s attributes. (But) if (the subordinate) equals or surpasses (the master), then the latter is (no longer) \u201cgreat\u201d in comparison with the former.[\/vc_column_text]          <div class=\"button-container button-698a847d5c594 left\">\n        <a class=\"button-style1\" href=\"\/product\/the-cube-of-cubes\/\" target=\"_self\">\n                      <span class=\"d\"><span><\/span><\/span>\n                    <span>Shop Now<\/span>\n        <\/a>\n      <\/div>\n        [\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1772660712807{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;}&#8221;]<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"img-nameofallah aligncenter wp-image-2179 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/thecubeofcubes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/location_034-al-azim-203x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"203\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thecubeofcubes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/location_034-al-azim-203x300.png 203w, https:\/\/thecubeofcubes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/location_034-al-azim.png 446w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 203px) 100vw, 203px\" \/>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1770686991906{border-top-width: 1px !important;padding-bottom: 65px !important;border-top-style: solid !important;border-color: #B1B0B0 !important;}&#8221; uniqid=&#8221;698a854a41655&#8243; el_class=&#8221;pagination-detail-namesofallah&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243; el_class=&#8221;prevbtn&#8221;]          <div class=\"button-container button-698a85360afd8 left\">\n        <a class=\"button-style3\" href=\"\/the-names-of-allah\/\" target=\"_self\">\n                    <span>All The Names of Allah<\/span>\n        <\/a>\n      <\/div>\n        [\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;]          <div class=\"button-container button-698a84cea10a1 right\">\n        <a class=\"button-style3\" href=\"#\" target=\"_self\">\n                    <span>Next<\/span>\n        <\/a>\n      <\/div>\n        [\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row equal_height=&#8221;yes&#8221; uniqid=&#8221;5c99cd717f62c&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1770687287381{padding-top: 100px !important;padding-bottom: 65px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1772660665130{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;}&#8221;][\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;](You must) know that (the word) \u201cgreat\u201d was applied to physical bodies in its original coinage.
