1. UNITY:

We hold that there is nothing like Allah in attribute, essence or act. We hold that Allah is not seen either in this World or in the World to come; "The eyes attain Him not, but He attains the eyes; He is the All-subtle, the All-aware."¹⁵⁶

We hold that Allah established Himself upon the Throne and over everything in a fashion not explicable by reason; His establishing Himself is an attribute of His which continues attributed to Him.

We hold that He is in every place, preserving and omnipotent; that He is within things, and along with things, comprehending them, causing them to was and wane, and not through emanation or fixation, and being contained therein.

We hold that His Names and attributes are His. There is nothing but Him. Numbering, change and variation are not applicable to Him.

2. JUSTICE:

We hold that Allah is Just. Injustice is not ascribed to Him in judging or act.

We hold that the people of al-Nahr were right when they disapproved of Ali in his entrusting the arbitration to two arbitrators, after the decision of Allah Almighty, "Fight against the party which doth the wrong, until they come back to the precepts of God."¹⁵⁷

We hold that Allah "Wrongs not men anything, but themselves men wrong."¹⁵⁸ The meaning is: He does not call them to account for that which they have not committed, nor punish them for crimes they have not committed.

We hold that (His) servants¹⁵⁹ commit and perform their actions, and that they were not forced or obliged to do them.

3. DIVINE DECREE:

We hold that Allah is the Creator of every thing, knowing everything, and willing every thing.

We hold that decree, whether good or bad, is from Allah.

We hold that Allah is the creator of (His) servants' actions; He is who originated them and willed them.
