 Ibn ‘Arabî often addresses the cosmic uniqueness of human beings in terms of the command (amr), an important Koranic term that has a strong bearing on the way in which theologians and philosophers addressed the issue of determinism and free will, or nature and nurture. It was said earlier that the “engendering command” (al-amr al-takwînî) is the creative word “Be!” (kun) and that it turns nonexistent entities into existent entities. God addresses this command to all existent things without exception, and everything is obedient to it. It provides no way to distinguish between right and wrong, good and evil, better and worse, because all things are exactly what they must be. Everything manifests the Real, al-Haqq, and each is a specific face of God with its own haqq. From this standpoint, nothing in the cosmos is bâtil—false, vain, or wrong.
