“He permitted you to look at what lies in creation; but He did not allow you to halt your gaze at creation itself: ’Say: Look at what lies in the heavens.’ (Sura Yunus, 101)

He opened for you the gateway of deep understandings, and did not say, ‘Look at the heavens,’ lest that lead you to only the presence of created objects.” 

~ ibn ‘Ata’illah (May Allah sanctify his soul).
