Thus, it is a reward that everything, on the basis of its existence, is firstly bestowed all those faculties which it is in need of, and subsequently, is shown the paths to achieve its desired states. The meaning of Mutammim is that there be no deficiency in any aspect of the system of grace, and it be perfected in every way.

Now I write with extreme sadness that an unin - 1 “Our Lord is He Who gave unto everything its proper form and then guided it to its proper function”. S u rah Ta H a 20:51. [Publisher]
