As for the Introduction: The First Requirement: On the mention of the divisions of existents in general Know that existents, in terms of being existent, have one ruling, and in terms of their division into the specificities of the physical realm (al-Mulk), the lower spiritual realm (al-Malakut al-Adna), the higher spiritual realm (al-Malakut al-A'la), and the world of archetypes (Alam al-Mithal), they have another ruling, The true existent—which is existent by virtue of its essence and the creator of others—is the Truth (al-Haqq), and its effects emanating from Him—which are existent by virtue of their connection to Him, the Exalted, and which are called the world—are divided into four categories: One of them: the realm of the physical (Alam al-Mulk), which is called "the world of creation and testimony," and it is divided into the celestial spheres, the elements, and the born beings.
