In the name of God, the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful.

All praise is for God,
 who has made possibility the mirror of necessity,
 and rendered non-being the locus through which being is made manifest.

Though necessity and being are attributes of His perfection,
 He—exalted is He—
  is beyond all names and attributes,
  beyond all states and considerations,
  beyond all appearances and concealments,
  beyond every emergence and every hiddenness,
  beyond every radiance and manifestation,
  beyond every witnessing and unveiling,
  beyond everything that can be sensed or understood,
  beyond all that can be imagined or conceived.

He—glorious and exalted—
 is beyond the beyond,
  then beyond that,
   and beyond that still.

— Imām Rabbānī Mujaddid Alf Thānī, Maktūbāt, Vol. 1, Letter 1

About Beyond All Beyond

Imām Rabbānī is regarded as one of Islam’s greatest revivers, known for his deep spirituality, defense of Sharīʿah, and profound guidance for seekers of Divine nearness. His Maktūbāt are a timeless treasure of wisdom on faith, purification of the heart, and the reality of sainthood.

These translations are carefully prepared using AI tools with custom prompts and multiple rounds of human review, based on an Arabic translation of the original Persian text and checked against available Urdu manuscripts.
