It is evident that to compare the oaths of God Almighty with the oaths of man is not appropriate as God does not face any difficulty like a man does when he has to take an oath. Instead, His oath is of a different kind that befits His glory and is in accordance with His law of nature. (Footnote A’ina-e-Kamalat-e-Islam, Ruhani Khaza’in, Volume 5, pp. 95-96) امہےن ل یتبحمںیمالھب ل وکریت پ ل ٓا ل ی ی ل یاتکی ل ر ل مسقےہ وک اھجم ل دلرب ل O my Beloved ! I swear by Your Uniqueness ; I have forgotton all about myself in Your love. (A’ina-e-Kamalat-e-Islam, Ruhani Khaza’in, volume 5, p. 225) َٗ وَاہلل ِ اِن ِّ قَد ْ ر َٔاَیْت ُ جَمَال I invoke your name, O Allah! (To state that) I did indeed witness the beauty (of the Holy Prophet sa ); ِْ َان ك َ بِعُیُوْن ِ جِسْمِی ْ قَاعِدًا بِم Through my own eyes, in my own house. (A’ina-e-Kamalat-e-Islam, Ruhani Khaza’in, Volume 5, p. 593)
