Shah Wali Allah interprets all such statements of Ibn 'Arabi, statements in which he identifies a unity between the creational phenomena and the 'Essential Existent', to mean unity of the latter with the 'universal soul'.

 Al-Ahram Weekly | Egypt | Agriculture minister faces storm   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Although Wali was supposed to testify as recently as 21 January, the minister rejected El- Ashmawi's request, insisting that he had "nothing to say to the court, and that the prior approval of the People's Assembly must be obtained first".
These detractors were further emboldened by the fact that Wali was stripped of much of his power when he was dismissed -- in September 2002, when the Abdel-Rahman case came to light -- from his influential post as NDP secretary-general, and assigned the more honourary role of NDP deputy chairman for internal affairs instead.
Wali subsequently became embroiled in a slander case against a journalist who charged the minister with providing the court with false testimony.

 Islam and Muslims Contemporary Issues - Marriage and Divorce in Islam - Wali's Consent in Marriage
Moreover, socially, the consent of the bridegroom’s Wali is as essential as is that of the bride’s.
It is obvious from the context of the verse that the verse allowed such Muslim men to marry slave-women as could not afford to marry ‘free’ Muslim ladies, provided they did that with the consent of the ahl (owners) of those slave-women.
It seems that the underlying object of the honourable court’s verdict (on 25 September 1996) was a check on extra-marital relationships, whereas the reasons for having Wali’s consent in marriage are a stronger and healthier relationship between the families involved and greater security and privilege for the bride and the bridegroom.
