We say about Allah's unity, believing

by Allah's help that:

َف ََ ُقولَُن َ دَ َ اللَ َ يدَ ت ْوحَ ي ،ُمْعت ق َ ين َاللَ ب َ ت ْوف يق

1. Allah is One, without any partners. َ َإ ََ ىال َت عَ َ اللَ ن د َ اَل َ َ و اح يك ر ل ُه، ش 2. There is nothing like Him. َل ا و ََ يْء ثْلُُه، ش م 3. There is nothing that can

overwhelm Him. َل اَ و َ يْء ُزهُ، ش يُْعج 4. There is no god other than Him. َغ يُْرهُ، َ هَ إ ل ََ ل ا و 5. He is the Eternal without a

beginning and enduring without end. َ َق يْم اٍء، ل اَب َ َ د ََ ابْت د ه اٍء، ب ل اََ د ائ م نْت ا6. He will never perish or come to an

end. َ ُد،يَْي بَ َ ل ا وَ َ ي ْفن ىَ ال 7. Nothing happens except what He

wills. َاَ إ ل اََ ي ُكوُنََ ل ا و يَْ م ُد،يُر 8. No imagination can conceive of

Him and no understanding can

comprehend Him.

لْأ ْوه اُم،َ ت ْبلُُغهَُ َ ال َ ََ ل ا وَ َ ا ُكُه تُْدر َْ ل َأ فْه اُم،ا


9. He is different from any created being. َلْأ ن اُمَ ُهُهَتُْشبَ َ ل ا و ا10. He is living and never dies and is

eternally active and never sleeps. َ ي ُموُت، َ ل ا ََ ي َح ََ ي ن اُم، ل اََ ق ي ُوم 11. He creates without His being in

need to do so and provides for His

creation without any effort.

َخَ ٍة، َ ب ل اَ ال ق اج ََ ح از ق َ ل اب َ َ ل ُهْمَ َ ر ُمْؤن ٍة،

12. He causes death with no fear and

restores to life without difficulty. ََُم يَْم اف ٍة،َ ل اب ََ ت ََ م خ ث ق ةٍَ َ ل اب َ َ ب اع .م ش 13. He has always existed together

with His attributes since before

creation. Bringing creation into

existence did not add anything to His

attributes that was not already there.

As He was, together with His

attributes, in pre-eternity, so He will

remain throughout endless time.

َزَ َامَ ت هَ بَ ال ا ف يًماَََ ص .َل ْمَق د ه لْق َخ ق ْبل َ ْمَب َ ي ْزد ْد ه ْيئًَ ك ْون َاش ُهْمََ ل ْمَي ُكْنََ َ ق ْبل

14. It was not only after the act of

creation that He could be described

as "the Creator" nor was it only by the

act of origination that He could he

described as "the Originator."

َالَْل َ ل ق َخ َُمْنُذ َْيس َاْسم َاْست ف اد لْق خ ،َوَ الَْ ال ق ث هَ بـ اَل َ خ ا ي َالَْ إ ْحد َب ر َ ة اْست ف اد

َ ار يبَ الََْ اْسم 15. He was always the Lord even

when there was nothing to be Lord

of, and always the Creator even when

there was no creation.

ْعن ىَ هَُل َ ْربََُ ال َ وَ َ ةَ ي َ وب َبَُالر ََُ م ،َوَ م وب ْعن َ ي َ ىَالَْم ال ق ْخلَُ ال َ وَ َ ةَ خ ،م وق

16. In the same way that He is the

"Bringer to life of the dead," after He

has brought them to life a first time,

and deserves this name before

bringing them to life, so too He

deserves the name of "Creator"

before He has created them.

ََ م ْوت ىالَْ ُمْحي ـيََ هَُأ ن ََ ك م ا وَ َمَ َب ْعد اَ ق َاْست ح ََأ ْحي اُهْم، َْه ذ َال َاَ ا َ ْسم ق ْبل

َإ ْحيَ َك ذ ْم، َائ ه َ ل ك ق ََ اْست ح اْسم َالَْ ال ق ََ خ ْم، َ ق ْبل ائ ه إ نْش


17. This is because He has the power

to do everything, everything is

dependent on Him, everything is easy

for Him, and He does not need

anything. "There is nothing like Him

and He is the Hearer, the Seer." (al-

Shura 42:11)

َذَ َ َ ىع ل َ َ هَُأ ن َب ََ ل ك يْءٍَ كُل ،َوَ َ ش يْر َ ق د َ كُل َُإ ل ْيهَ يٍْء ،َ ش ير َ وَ ف ق ََ كُل ُ َ أ ْمٍر ع ل ْيه

18. He created creation with His

knowledge. ََخ َالََْ ل ق لْق ،بـ َ خ لْم ه ع 19. He appointed destinies for those

He created. َو َ ََ ل ُهْمََ رَ ق د ،اارًَأ قْد 20. He allotted to them fixed life

spans. َو َ ب ر ًَآجَ َ ل ُهْمََ ض ل ا،ا21. Nothing about them was hidden

from Him before He created them,

and He knew everything that they

would do before He created them.

ََ ْمَل َ ََ ي ْخف َ ع ل ْيه يْء ْنَ ش ْمََ م ال ه أ فْع َ ُهْم،َ أ ْنَ ق ْبل ل ق َ وَ َ خ ا ع ل م َ ُهْمََ م

َ لُون ََ ع ام ُهْم، أ ْنَ ق ْبل ي ْخلُق 22. He ordered them to obey Him and

forbade them to disobey Him. َ وَ ُهْم ر َبَ أ م ه ت اع َ وَ ط اُهْم ْنَ ن ه َ ع

، ه ي ت م ْعص 23. Everything happens according to

His degree and will, and His will is

accomplished. The only will that

people have is what He wills for

them. What He wills for them occurs

and what He does not will, does not

occur.

يْءٍَ وَ َش يَ كُل ُ َب ََ ي ْجر ت ه يَْ وَ ُقْدر .َم ش ه ئ ت يَْ وَ يَْ ال َ ت ْنُفُذ،َوَ َ ئ ُتهَُم ش َم ش ب ادَ ئ ة َ ل لْع

24. He gives guidance to whomever

He wills, and protects them, and

keeps them safe from harm, out of

His generosity; and He leads astray

whomever He wills, and abases them,

and afflicts them, out of His justice.

ييَ ْنََ ْهد اُءَي َ م ُمَ وَ ش اف يَ َوَ َ ي ْعص يُع ْنَي َ اءَُم ََ وَ ف ْضلًا،ََ ش ل ُ ْنََ يُض اءَُي َ م وَ َ ش

ل يََ وَ َ ي ْخُذلَُ ع ْدلًا ي بْت


25. All of them are subject to His will

either through His generosity or His

justice.

َبَُل َُمت قَ َْمَهَُكُل َُ َوَ يََْ ىف ََ ون َ،م ش ه َب يََْ ئ ت َن َ ع ْدل هَ وَ ف ْضل ه

26. He is Exalted beyond having

opposites or equals. َو َ اٍلَ ُهو َ ُمت ع ن ََْ ع ل َا َْ َوَ ََادَ أ ْضد ل ادَ ا أ نْد 27. No one can ward off His decree

or delay His command or overpower

His affairs.

اد َ َ ال َ ،َوَ َر ائ ه َ اَل ََ ل ق ض ق ب ،َ ُمع َ وَ َ ل ُحْكم ه َل َ َْ اَغ ال ب ه ،ل أ ْمر

28. We believe in all of this and are

certain that everything comes from

Him.

ن اَآ َ م َب ذ ،َ ل ك َكُل ًا أ يْق ن اَ وَ َ كُل ه َ ْنَم َ أ ن هَ ْند ع

29. And we are certain that

Muhammad (may Allah bless him

and grant him peace) is His chosen

Servant and elect Prophet and His

Messenger with whom He is well

pleased,

َ وَ م َ َ إ ن َ َاًدَُمح ََ وَ َليهَ ع َ َاللََُ ىل َص مَل َس ْبُدُهَ ف ى،الَْ ع ُمْجت ب ى،َوَ الَْ هَُن بـ ي َُ وَ َ ُمْصط ُسولُهَُ ُمْرت ض ى،الََْ ر

30. And that he is the Seal of the

Prophets and the Imam of the god-

fearing and the most honoured of all

the messengers and the Beloved of

the Lord of all the worlds.

ت ُمَخَ ََْ ا ل اءَ بَ أ َۘنَْا اُمَ وَ َ ي ََْ إ م ل يَ ا ،َأ تْق وَ اء َ ي ُد ،الَْس ل ين بَ وَ ُمْرس َيَْح َ َُب ب َ ر

،الَْ ال م ين ع 31. Every claim to Prophet-hood

after Him is falsehood and deceit. َ وَ ةَ َ كُل ُ ٍةََ د ْعو َ نُُبو ت هَ َ ب ْعد وَ َف غ ي ََ نُُبو

ه و ى؛32. He is the one who has been sent

to all the jinn and all mankind with

truth and guidance and with light and

illumination.

َالََْ ةَ ع ام َ إ ل ىََ الْم ْبُعوُثََ ُهوَ وَ ن َك اف َ وَ َ ج ة َو ر ى،َا َالَْ َالَْب َ لم ْبُعوث ق ىالَْ وَ َ ح ُهد

33. The Qur'an is the word of Allah.

It came from Him as speech without

it being possible to say how. He sent

it down on His Messenger as

revelation. The believers accept it, as

َ وَ َالََْ إ ن ال ََ اللَ َ اُمَك ل ََ ُقْرآن َ َ ى،ت ع أ ب د ي َ ل َب َ ل هَُأ نَْ وَ ،ق ْولًاَ ةٍَاَك ْيف َن بَ ع ل ىََ ز ي ه


absolute truth. They are certain that it is, in truth, the word of Allah. It is not

created as is the speech of human

beings, and anyone who hears it and

claims that it is human speech has

become an unbeliever. Allah warns

him and censures him and threatens

him with Fire when He says, Exalted

is He: "I will burn him in the Fire."

(al-Muddaththir 74:26) When Allah

threatens with the Fire those who say

"This is just human speech" (74:25)

we know for certain that it is the

speech of the Creator of mankind and

that it is totally unlike the speech of

mankind.

َ ال ق ،َالَْ خ ر َ ُهَق ْولَ يُْشبَ َ ال َ وَ ب ش ،الَْ ر ب ش

34. Anyone who describes Allah as

being in any way the same as a

human being has become an

unbeliever. All those who grasp this

will take heed and refrain from

saying things such as the unbelievers

say, and they will know that He, in

His attributes, is not like human

beings.

35. The Seeing of Allah by the

People of the Garden is true, without

their vision being all-encompassing

and without the manner of their

vision being known. As the Book of

our Lord has expressed it: "Faces on

that Day radiant, looking at their

ََ ْؤي ةَُالر َُ وَ ق َل ََ ح ن َ أ ْهل َالج َب َ ة يْر غ ٍةَوَ اط ي َ َ ال َ إ ح ََ ك م ا ٍة،ك ْيف ق اُبََ بـ هَ َ ن ط ت َ ك ن اَ ـ ب ْيُثَق الَ ر :ح


Lord." (al-Qiyama 75:22-3) The explanation of this is as Allah knows

and wills. Everything that has come

down to us about this from the

Messenger, may Allah bless him and

grant him peace, in authentic

traditions, is as he said and means

what he intended. We do not delve

into that, trying to interpret it

according to our own opinions or

letting our imaginations have free

rein.

No one is safe in his religion unless

he surrenders himself completely to

Allah, the Exalted and Glorified and

to His Messenger, may Allah bless

him and grant him peace, and leaves

the knowledge of things that are

ambiguous to the one who knows

them.

36. A man's Islam is not secure unless

it is based on submission and

surrender. Anyone who desires to

know things which it is beyond his

capacity to know, and whose intellect

is not content with surrender, will

find that his desire veils him from a

pure understanding of Allah's true

unity, clear knowledge and correct

belief, and that he veers between

disbelief and belief, confirmation and

denial and acceptance and rejection.

He will be subject to whisperings and

find himself confused and full of

doubt, being neither an accepting

believer nor a denying rejecter.

37. Belief of a man in the seeing of

Allah by the People of the Garden is

not correct if he imagines what it is

like or interprets it according to his

own understanding, since the

interpretation of this seeing or

indeed, the meaning of any of the

subtle phenomena which are in the

realm of Lordship, is by avoiding its

interpretation and strictly adhering to

the submission.

This is the religion of Muslims.

Anyone who does not guard himself

against negating the attributes of

Allah, or likening Allah to something

else, has gone astray and has failed to

understand Allah's glory, because our

Lord, the Glorified and the Exalted,

can only possibly be described in

terms of oneness and absolute

singularity and no creation is in any

way like Him.

38. He is beyond having limits placed

on Him, or being restricted, or having

parts or limbs. Nor is He contained

by the six directions as all created

things are.

َ ت ُ ائ رَ َ َالس ع َالَََْ ك س َُمبْت د .ات 39. Al-Mi`raj (the Ascent through

the heavens) is true. The Prophet,

may Allah bless him and grant him

peace, was taken by night and

ascended in his bodily form, while

awake, through the heavens, to

whatever heights Allah willed for

اُجَالَْ وَ ََ م ْعر ق َ َ ق ْدَ وَ .َح ي أُْسر َب الن َ َوسلم بـ ي َعليه َالل وَ َ صلى

him. Allah ennobled him in the way that He ennobled him and revealed to

him what He revealed to him, "and

his heart was not mistaken about

what it saw" (al-Najm 53:11). Allah

blessed him and granted him peace in

this world and the next.

40. Al-Hawd, the Pool which Allah

has granted the Prophet as an honour

to quench the thirst of his

Community on the Day of

Judgement, is true.

41. Al-Shafa`a, the intercession

which is stored up for Muslims, is

true, as related in the hadiths.

ََ َوَ ةَُالش ه اَاد َ ََت يَال َََ َف اع ر َ ََل ُهْمَََ َ اللَُ ََ خ َ َْ َََََف يَََْ ََك م اَُرو ي ل أ ْخب ارَ ا

42. The covenant which Allah made

with Adam and his offspring is true.

43. Allah knew, before the existence

of time, the exact number of those

who would enter the Garden and the

exact number of those who would

enter the Fire. This number will

neither be increased nor decreased.

َََق ْدَََوَ ال ىَ ََاللَََُع ل م ْلََََ ل ْمََََ ف ْيم اَََ ت ع ََ ي ز دَ ْنَََ ع د ََ م ن َ َ َي ْدُخل ،َالْج ََ َوَ ََة َََي ْدُخل َالن َ َار ةً، ُجْمل ًةََ د َو اح ادَََُ َال َ ََ َيُز َف يَْ ََ ََ َذَ د َالَْ ََل ك د ْنُه؛َََ ي ْنُقُصََ ال َ ََوَ ََع م

44. The same applies to all actions

done by people, which are done

exactly as Allah knew they would be

done. Everyone is eased towards

what he was created for and it is the

action with which a man's life is

sealed which dictates his fate. Those

who are fortunate are fortunate by the decree of Allah, and those who are

wretched are wretched by the decree

of Allah.

45. The exact nature of the decree is

Allah's secret in His creation, and no

angel near the Throne, nor Prophet

sent with a message, has been given

knowledge of it. Delving into it and

reflecting too much about it only

leads to destruction and loss, and

results in rebelliousness. So be

extremely careful about thinking and

reflecting on this matter or letting

doubts about it assail you, because

Allah has kept knowledge of the

decree away from human beings, and

forbidden them to enquire about it,

saying in His Book, "He is not asked

about what He does, but they are

asked" (al-Anbiya' 21: 23).

Therefore, anyone who asks: "Why

did Allah do that?" has gone against

a judgement of the Book, and anyone

who goes against a judgement of the

Book is an unbeliever.

Allah's Friends with enlightened

hearts need to know and constitutes

the degree of those firmly endowed

with knowledge. For there are two

kinds of knowledge: knowledge

which is accessible to created beings,

and knowledge which is not

accessible to created beings. Denying

the knowledge which is accessible is

disbelief, and claiming the knowledge which is inaccessible is

disbelief. Belief can only be firm

when accessible knowledge is

accepted and the inaccessible is not

sought after.

.ود َم ْفقَُالَْ47. We believe in Al Lawh (the

Tablet) and Al Qalam (the Pen) and

in everything written on the former.

Even if all created beings were to

gather together to make something

fail to exist, whose existence Allah

had written on the Tablet, they would

not be able to do so. And if all created

beings were to gather together to

make something exist which Allah

had not written on it, they would not

be able to do so. The Pen has dried

having written down all that will be

in existence until the Day of

Judgement. Whatever a person has

missed he would have never got, and

whatever he gets he would have

never missed.

48. It is necessary for the servant to

know that Allah already knows

everything that is going to happen in

His creation and has decreed it in a

detailed and decisive way. There is

nothing that He has created in either

the heavens or the earth that can

contradict it, or add to it, or erase it,

or change it, or decrease it, or

increase it in any way. This is a

fundamental aspect of belief and a

necessary element of all knowledge and recognition of Allah's oneness

and Lordship. As Allah says in His

Book: "He created everything and

decreed it in a detailed way." (al-

Furqan 25: 2) And He also says:

"Allah's command is always a

decided decree." (al-Ahzab 33: 38)

So woe to anyone who argues with

Allah concerning the decree and

who, with a sick heart, starts delving

into this matter. In his deluded

attempt to investigate the Unseen, he

is seeking a secret that can never be

uncovered, and he ends up an evil-

doer, telling nothing but lies.

Kursi (the Chair) are true. َْرُشَالَََََْو ي َُالَََََْوَ ََََع َََََُكْرس ق ح 50. He is independent of the Throne

that which is above it, and what He

has created is incapable of

encompassing Him.
