Do not call Him (Allah) the Lover nor the Beloved. O immature person! Do not address Him as the Creator nor as the creature. But this matter can only be explained alongwith the higher mysteries to those whose faith and record are without blemish.
Since the True, the Exalted and the Eulogized is a Necessary Being in His Essence, He is the Lover of His Essence. (lmam Razi - lbn aI Akhlaq).
After the identification of the Divine and the human spirit, it became self-evident for the Sufis to deny the fact of creation altogether so far as the soul is concerned; and with the denial of creation the denial of God as the Creator went hand in hand. In one of the lyrics of Roomi we find this utterance in a sharp and unambiguous manner.
می گفت در بیاباں رند دہن دریدہ
صوفی خدا ندارد او نیست آفریدہ

An outspoken fellow was saying in the desert: “Sufi has no God, he is not created”. (Metaphysics of Roomi by Dr. Khalifa)
مرغ خویشی صید خویشی دام خویش
صدر خویشی فرش خویشی بام خویش
(Roomi)
You yourself are the bird, the prey, and the trap. You yourself are the chair, the floor, and the balcony.

Neither call Him a lover not Beloved is He,
Call Him not creator nor creature,
This spiritual secret to him relate,
Who free from all weakness is of late.

Don't call Him lover, nor the beloved,
Neither the creator, nor the creation,
Tell this secret only to him,
Who has risen above all imperfections.
