42. The objects of the world are the reflection of the attributes of Allah Almighty. But Allah Almighty illuminates some attributes on the entire creation like existence and life, but some are illuminated on the specific persons like dominion and knowledge while others are not reflected in anyone like eternity and being a creator.

A mirror cannot become the sun by just reflecting its light. In a like manner, the servant cannot become Allah Almighty just by reflecting His Attributes.
