The Concept of Divine Independence and Human Supplication in Section 22 of Hadiqat al-Haqiqah
In Section 22 of the Hadiqat al-Haqiqah, Sanai discusses the absolute independence (bi-niyazi) of God, stating that God's essence is entirely transcendent and indifferent to human belief (din), disbelief (kufr), obedience (ta'at), or disobedience (ma'siyat). Sanai argues that true independence for humans lies in recognizing their absolute neediness (niyaz) and helplessness before God, urging the seeker to abandon reliance on intellect (aql) or physical effort and instead cling to the Divine truth (haqiqat).
