Dhu'l-nun Al-misri

So this reading was really interesting. They are not saying anything to profound, but they describe the saints. How God sees them, how they see God, and how they must act. God gives them very specific ideas of what to do in many different situations. God has given them love, and they have given God love in return. They also give Gods love to other people through their caring, and helping ways. "When I love a servant, I am his ear, so that he hears by me; I am his eye, so that he sees by me; and I am his tongue, so that he speaks by me."God is basically saying that when he love his servant, or a saint that everything they do is through God. their actions are not really their own, but just an act of God.
