The Dilemma of the Divine Names

Ibn Arabi says that the world is both God and not God. It would be overly simplistic to just take one side of this polarity but on the other hand, I mean as philosophers, we're probably not too happy with someone saying well the solution is to just contradict yourself all the time. So do you think the point he's trying to make there is that more of an analogy or is it actually that we are literally the names of God as created things? This too is a quick question.
