ABSTRACT

This chapter explains the bezel of the wisdom of predetermination exists in the essence of Ezra. God's knowledge concerning things is in keeping with what the objects of knowledge give, that is, their exact essences. Determination means appointing the time for the exact states of things without any addition. Since Ezra sought the unique way, he was rebuked, as it was related in a tradition. Ezra was not given this, for it belongs only to divine perception, and only God knows it, because this knowledge is the first keys, the author mean, the hidden keys which none knows. Since we are aware of God's rebuking Ezra for his request concerning predetermination, we know that he asked for knowledge of predetermination and the power connected to the object of power. Ibn al- 'Arabi conveys the traditions that deal with these kinds of people before their going into Paradise and Hell, because in both abodes no law is implemented.
