Summary/Abstract: The author, in an imaginary dialogical form, like Plato, seeks to present the deepest knowledge of the philosophy and religion, which are presented by a sage (hakīm) to an inquisitive student. The student reveals that a sage possesses a special kind of knowledge for which it is necessary to have spiritual readiness. In this context, the sage tells him about the partial intelligence and the Intelligence. What particularly bothers the student is the problem of evil. The sage will emphasize to him that only wise people can really answer that question through the heart. In the end, he will advise him to remove the curtain of evil in order to truly live.
