ASFAR is opposed to age restrictions on *principle*, and once people realize that, they take us more seriously.
However, this class of rights has been defined in an overly broad manner, oftentimes not taking into account the rights of young people, to such a degree that the parental "right" to whip one's child with a belt-buckle is recognized in many jurisdictions.

The first, the journey of creation or the creature (khalq) to the Truth (al-haqq), is the most philosophical; here Mulla Sadra lays out the basis of his ontology, and mirrors the stage in the Sufi's path where he seeks to control his lower nafs under the supervision of his shaykh.
