Reply to a Mockery — Page 131
Response to the booklet entitled Ilh a m i Girgit 131 To believe in Him is to believe the greatest truth, rather than in conjectures. 2. We affirm that Allah Almighty is One; He has no partner either in this earth or in the heavens. All else is creation and thereby dependent on Him for succour and protection. He has no son, no daughter, no father, no mother, no wife and no brother or sister. He is the One and Only, there is none like unto Him, He is Unique. 3. We firmly believe that Allah is Holy in His Person; He is free from all defects and He comprehends all virtues. There is no weakness that can be found in Him and there is no virtue that cannot be attributed to Him. He is Omnipotent; His power has no bounds. His knowledge is limitless; He has complete knowledge of everything but there is none who can compre- hend Him or His attributes. He is First and Last. He is appar- ent and He is concealed. He is the Creator of the whole uni- verse and Master of all creation. His authority has never been challenged and never will be challenged. He is Living; He will never die. He is constant and He will never decline. All His works are done through His purpose, not through compul- sion. He rules the universe today as He has always done. None of His powers will ever decline or be suspended. He will for- ever display His power. 4. We affirm that angels are also God’s creation and in accord- ance with the verse َنْوُلَعْفَي اَم َنْوُرَمْؤُي ( an-Na h l 16:51) they do that which they are commanded. And Allah Almighty’s wisdom has created them to perform certain duties; they actually exist and are not just metaphors. They are just as much in need of Allah’s support as humans are as Allah is not dependent on
