(Naqs al khalqi). Of necessity the created must have an imperfect nature, being as it is 'other-than Allah'. Allah Alone is Perfect. The creature can attain to the type of Perfection which its level requires. All of the existent things are perfect in this respect, except for man. He must struggle to reach the Perfection of his level within the hierarchy of existence. The man who has attained is the Perfect Man.
