Means & Wisdom of the Wise

Allah gives His slaves through three ways, that is to say, through means, without the existence of means, and through the opposite means.

He gives through means so that His magnificent creation, and the strength, disposition, and benefits He puts in His creatures become manifest.

He also gives without the existence of means so that His slaves know that His ability is not in need of intermediary to realize it.

Moreover, He gives through the opposite means so that His slaves know that He is able to do all things. He does what He wants, and nothing, in the heavens, nor the earth, can stand before His ability. 

Furthermore, nothing happens in the universe except by His leave, and causes are effective only by means of His leave.
