Imam al-Sadiq (AS) said, ‘Whoever wants to know the status of his position with Allah must first find out what status of position Allah holds with him, for Allah places the servant in the same position whereat the servant places Allah with respect to himself.
الإمامُ الصّادقُ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ): مَن أرادَ أنْ يَعرِفَ كيفَ مَنزِلَتُهُ عِندَ اللّهِ فلْيَعْرِفْ كيفَ مَنزِلَةُ اللّهِ عِندَهُ ، فإنَّ اللّهَ يُنزِلُ العَبدَ مِثلَ ما يُنزِلُ العَبدُ اللّهَ مِن نَفْسِهِ.
