THE CORRECT BELIEF IN ALLAAH Know that Allaah Exists differently from anything else. His Self is His reality, and not a body. He alone is without a beginning, because no one created Him. He is the only Creator. He Exists everlastingly and does not change. He is perfect. Before creating the creations, He existed without them. He existed before the skies or the Arsh existed, and He now exists as He Eternally existed, without those creations affecting or changing Him. He is alive without a body or soul, and without needing sustenance. He is Knowledgeable without a teacher and does not learn or forget. He possesses the perfect Knowledge of everything, and the creations exist only as He knew they would. He has power to bring things from non-existence into existence. He creates without tools and without getting weak or sleepy. He has the eternal and everlasting Will, by which He specified His creations with particular places, directions, shapes, colors, times, changes, movements, stability, hardships, ease, choice, free will, and everything else He Eternally willed for His creations. His management is unhindered and uninterrupted. He cannot be distracted because He does not have limbs. He has no partner, wife, parent, son, branch, origin, nor opposite. He does not need anything, not a space to occupy, nor time to bind Him. He is not benefited nor harmed by His creatures. He eternally sees and hears everything without eyes or hear, without looking into a direction, without needing volume or sound waves, light, time, or space. Nothing is hidden from Him. He speaks with His eternal Kalaam (speech), without it being of a word, letter, sound, nor language. It is not the result of organs touching or air moving, and it does not come from any direction. Allaah does not resemble anything in the universe. He is not composed of particles, nor does He have the characteristics of particles, such as color, shape, place, motion, stillness, texture, temperature, etc. He is neither inside nor outside of something, since those are places for bodies. He is not in a particular place, nor is He everywhere. He exists without being in any place. He does not have the attributes of the creations. The creations are not parts or attributes ofAllaah. All of His attributes are eternal and everlasting. They are not organs or emotions. Since His Self is Eternal, His attributes cannot be created. He is different from whatever is imagined. Let there be no doubt that this is the correct belief in Him, the mighty Lord with the perfect names.
