"God says, “The giving of your Lord can never be walled up” (Koran 17:20). In other words, it can never be withheld. God is saying that He gives constantly, while the loci receive in the measure of the realities of their preparedness. In the same way, you say that the sun spreads its rays over the existent things. It is not miserly with its light toward anything. The loci receive the light in the measure of their preparedness. (Ibn ‘Arabî, al-Futûhât, 1911 edition, 1:287.10)"


does this echo the parable of the prodigal son in the christian bible? hmm...
