The Negation of Blameworthy Attributes from God in Sanai's Hadiqat al-Haqiqah
In Section 75 of Sanai's Hadiqat al-Haqiqah, the poet emphasizes that negative and blameworthy attributes—such as wrath, rancor, and envy—cannot be ascribed to God. Sanai argues that God's true nature is entirely merciful and compassionate toward His servants. These negative traits are depicted as human characteristics that arise from limitation, keeping those who possess them far from the divine. This concept serves to elevate the divine above human emotional fallibility and stresses the absolute purity, oneness, and grace of the Creator.
