This vicegerent then becomes the vehicle through which the attributes of God are gloriously manifested. It is this glory that is known as the manifestation of His attributes. And the person through whom His attributes become known is called a manifestation of God. This is why our lord and master, Muhammad Mu st af a s as , was the perfect manifestation of the Almighty. Through him, the world witnessed the loftiest, the highest, and the most perfect manifestation of the attributes of Allah. It was through him that God sent the following message to mankind: 1 ِ صِبْغَۃً هللا َ ِ ۚ وَمَن ْ اَحْسَن ُ مِن هللا َ صِبْغَۃ Meaning that: every human being should try to imbibe the attributes of Allah because to Allah belongs the most beneficent attributes. Maulaw i Sahib! You may feel this message is not for you; but please realise that it is addressed to every believer.
