فَنَقُولُSo we say::كَالْأَكْلِlike eatingفِيinالْإِنْسَانِthe humanكَمَالٍperfection،,وَلَوْand ifلَمْnotيَأْكُلْ؛he eats;عَدٌّhe is consideredمَرِيضًا،sick,لَكِنَّbutهُوَit isكَمَالٌperfectionمِنْfromوَجْهٍaspectوَنَقْصٍand deficiencyمِنْfromوَجْهٍaspectآخَرَ؛another;كَمَالٌPerfectionلِدَلَالَتِهِfor indicatingعَلَىonصِحَّةِthe healthالْبَدَنِof the bodyوَاسْتِقَامَتِهِ،and its uprightness,وَنَقْصٍand deficiencyلِأَنَّbecauseالْبَدَنَthe bodyمُحْتَاجٌis in needإِلَيْهِ،of it,وَهُوَand it isفِيinالْحَقِيقَةِrealityنَقْصٌ.a deficiency.

So we say: like eating in a human is perfection, and if he does not eat; he is considered sick, but it is perfection from one aspect and deficiency from another aspect; perfection for indicating the health and uprightness of the body, and deficiency because the body is in need of it, and it is in reality a deficiency.

Then; not every perfection relative to the creature is a perfection for the Creator; just as not every perfection in the Creator is a perfection for the creature; for arrogance is a perfection in the Creator, a deficiency in the creature, and eating, drinking, and sleeping is a perfection in the creature, a deficiency in the Creator. And therefore Allah the Highest said about Himself: ﴿And He feeds and is not fed﴾.

In His saying: ﴿To Him belongs what is in the heavens: and for a news: it is presented. And what is delayed; so in the sentence there is restriction, its way is to present what is its right to be delayed, and it is the news.

﴿And what is in the earth: from the creatures all, the animal from them and other than the animals.

And His saying: ﴿the heavens indicates that they are many, and it is thus, and indeed the text of the Qur'an states that they are seven: ﴿Say, who is the Lord of the heavens? the seven and the Lord of the Throne the Great?﴾

And the earth indicated that they are seven, without statement, and the Sunnah stated on it; Allah the Highest said: ﴿Allah who created seven heavens and from the earth the same number as them﴾ [Divorce: 12]; the same as them in number without the characteristics, and in 168.
