Im up & grinding reading the Quran Aḥmad ibn ʿAjība (may God sanctify his secret) commenting on Qurʾān [7:189] stated: Adam (ʿalayhi as-salām) after his creation found nothing in the Garden except the brilliance of God’s illumination (tajallī) and was almost annihilated by light which would envelop him layer upon layer. And God, be He glorified, knew that Adam could not bear the weight of this illumination, knew that he would melt in the light of its beauty, for all that was in the Garden was drowned in it. So He added to it the radiance of the omnipotence and the dominions (ḍaw al-jabarūt wa-l-malakūt) and from it created Eve, that Adam might find in her times of rest from the overwhelming power of divine illumination.
