Allah The Exalted — Page 65
All a h the Exalted 6 soul also needs another soul which should revive it. Both these souls are created by God. He who has not grasped this mystery is unaware of God's Powers and is heedless of God. [Nas i m-e-Da‘wat, R uha n i Khaz a ’in, Vol. 19, pp. 390-391] Limitless Manifestation of God's Attributes God's Divinity and Godhead is related to His unlimited power and countless mysteries which man cannot confine within the limits of law. For the recognition of God, it is an important and fundamental principle that the Powers and Wisdom of God the Glorious are unlimited. By un- derstanding this principle and reflecting deeply upon it everything becomes clear and one is able to see the straight path of the recognition of Truth and the worship of Truth. We do not deny that God Almighty always operates in accordance with His eternal attributes, and it would not be improper if we were to call this acting according to eternal attributes by the name of Divine law. What we question is whether acting in accordance with those eter- nal attributes, or in other words, the eternal Divine law, should be regarded as limited and defined. We believe that the effects of the attributes, which are part of God's Being and are unlimited, are manifested at their appro- priate times and nothing occurs outside of them and those attributes affect all creation in heaven and earth. The effects of these attributes are called the way of All a h or the law of nature; but because God Almighty, along with His perfect attributes, is Unlimited and Endless, it would be folly on our part to claim that the effects of those at- tributes, that is to say, the laws of nature, do not extend beyond our experience, intelligence or observation.
