The Knower...


"There is no knowledge except that taken from God, for He alone is the Knower....

The prophets, in spite of their great number and the long periods of time which separate them, had no disagreement in knowledge of God, since they took it from God."


Ibn Arabi
'Futuhat al Makkiyah' II. 290.
