SHAFAQNA – Imam Ali (AS) said: Praise Allah (SWT) who appeared to the created ones with the creation [1]; this is a universal appearance. It is also narrated from Imam Ali (AS) who said: Allah (SWT) appears in God’s Book (Quran) without any one being able to see him (with eyes) [2]; this is a special appearance.
