Two Universal Blessings

بِسۡمِ ٱللهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ 

Shaykh Taj ad-Din Abu al-Fadhl Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn ‘Atha’illah as-Sakandari (q.s.) wrote, in his Hikam, “Two Blessings are necessarily universal for all created things: the blessing of being first Created and the Blessing of continuous subsistence.”
