Study Notes
The Oneness of Allah
- Allah says in the Quran, "Say! He is Allah, He is One," meaning He is absolute in unity and impossible to have an equal in His self, actions, or attributes.
- The word "One" here is absolute, meaning Allah cannot be divided or have parts.
- Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal explained that Allah is One in every sense of the meaning, whereas everything else is one in one sense but not in others.
The Six Attributes of Allah
- The six attributes mentioned are existence, and five attributes that negate imperfections.
- The first attribute, existence, is an "Attribute of Self" and refers to what exists without additional meaning.
- The other five attributes are negations of imperfections, including having a beginning, an end, resemblance to creation, need, or having an equal in one's self, actions, or attributes.
The Seven Attributes of Meanings
- There are seven attributes that must be true of Allah, known as "Attributes of Meanings" (al-ma'ani).
- These attributes are proof of Allah's self-existence and unity.
The Proof of Allah's Self-Existence
- The proof of Allah's self-existence is that any attribute of creation must have a beginning, but Allah has no beginning and therefore cannot be an attribute of creation.
- Allah's existence is proven by the fact that this world has a beginning.
