Lamps
Said writes, “Do you discern anything trifling in creation? Bring back your thoughts. Do you see anything worthless? Recall your vision in earnest. Turn your eye inward for it is diseased. God has adorned the heavens and the world with lamps, and has made us missiles for the devils.” The lamps which are emblematic of the natural lighting which lights up the world are evidence of God's sovereignty. His creations are significant and material for all humanity. Without the allegorical lamps, humanity would dwell in utter darkness.
Planting
Said recommends, “Say to them, “He who regards you with care, and has made for you the heavens and the earth and gives you prosperity, Him you think little of. This is He that planted you in the earth, and to whom you are soon to be gathered.” ” God’s act of planting humanity relates to the creation which resulted in the human race and their existence in the universe. The metaphoric planting creates the planter-planted relationship between God and human beings.
