Preface
!
The best knowledge that deserves to be known is knowing Allah . That is why I present to you, gentle and
discerning reader, this humble attempt to try to know Allah , Glory be to Him.
The topic of this book is an interesting yet intricate matter; discussing it is complex and not easy. But if I
do delve in this subject, then I must ask Allah for His Aid and beg for His Forgiveness for any faults or
mistakes I may possibly make; only Allah , Glory be to Him, has the perfect Ability to describe the true
essence of the Exalted Self.
Moreover, I was keen on presenting a thorough summary of all the viewpoints of our ancestors, the early
believers, concerning the topic of this book which is (Monotheism and the Names of Allah ), having the
honour of humbly expressing my opinion and suggesting the most acceptable viewpoints, so that we may
attain the utmost of the lights that this kind of knowledge may present, though these lights increase day by
day, generation after generation through the efforts of the scholars of the Muslim nation, till Allah , Praise
and Glory be to Him, inherits the earth and everyone thereon.
All what the early believers said, and what the recent and coming believers may say, is but an endeavour;
may Allah , Glory be to Him, accept and reward all these efforts and forgive the errors, and we must always
confess our inability and lack of knowledge; no one save Allah has the most perfect and true knowledge of
Allah .
The studies that were made concerning this topic started by his wives such as Om Salama, and the
Prophet’s Companions, may Allah be pleased with them, who were the ones that were closest to the
Prophet, Allah’s Prayers and Peace be upon him. Of those who studied this subject are also the four famous
Imams and Na‘eem Ibn-Hammad who was the teacher of Al-Bukhari who is the most acknowledged
collector of the Hadith, Sofian Al-Thawry, Ibn-Al-Mubarak, Ibn-‘Uyayna, Wakee‘ who was the teacher of
the Imam Malik, Muhammad Ibn-Al-Hasan, Al-Bukhari, Ibn-Taymeya, Ibn-El-Qayem, Al-Baghawey, Al-
Razi, Al-Galalein, Al-Alousy, and many other scholars who studied the Hadith and the interpretations of
the Qur’an.
May Allah forgive all our sins and accept our efforts and reward us with the best of rewards, He is the One
Who hears all things and responds to those who supplicate Him.

The Logic Proof of the Existence of Allah
! Existence
!
Things may exist at three levels: If they are sighted they have original true existence; if they are imagined
by us (i.e. seen by the eye of the mind) they have formative, acknowledged existence; and if they are
expressed in words (i.e. verbally) they have verbal referential existence.
Verbal referential existence expresses the formative acknowledged existence that embodies the original
true existence.
If things were not sighted they would not have been imagined, and if they had not been imagined they
would not have been acknowledged by the human being and hence not expressed in words.
!
The Word, the Knowledge, and the Known
!
These three things, though ostensibly different, are identical and parallel; each one has its specific
characteristics, and so are the name, the named, and the naming.
God’s name is Allah ; the named, Glory be to Him, is the Exalted Being; as for the naming, either it has
been done by the people or by Him, and in either case the name has been known and acknowledged since
eternity. When Allah inspired the people to utter His name, the verbal existence was thus established; His
Name is eternal, as far as the formative acknowledged existence is concerned because it has been known to
Him since eternity, but as far as the verbal existence is concerned it is incidental when it is uttered by the
people.
!
Divisions of the Known
!
Verbal referential existence leads necessarily to the formative acknowledged existence. The word ( Allah )
connotes God’s existence in minds; any word denotes a Known that is divided as follows:
1) The Impossible in Itself: Is that whose non-existence is not due to any cause save the impossibility of
itself, such as the impossibility of the existence of any two contradictory elements at the same time, i.e. we
cannot assume the existence and the non-existence of one thing at the same time, this is not accepted by the
mind. The Impossible does not exist in minds nor in reality.
2) The Possible by Itself: Is that whose existence and non-existence are due to cause. All the existing
things perceptible by our senses are an example for the Possible by itself; they need a cause to exist and
another to cease to exist. The existence of the cause must precede the existence of the Possible, and
anything that is preceded by non-existence is incidental, hence the Possible is incidental because it is
preceded by non-existence.
Possible things not only need a cause to exist but they also need a cause to continue to exist. This cause is
the originator, the donor of existence, and the true doer; it grants existence to these possible things.
As long as the Possible needs a cause to exist, then they need a finder; this finder can neither be an
Impossible nor another Possible, so it could only be the Necessary Being, whose existence is the true cause
of all existence.
3) The Necessary Being: Is that who is self-existent and whose existence is not due to any other cause save
its true presence and epithets; i.e. if this Being is imagined by the mind in an absolute manner, it cannot be
anything other than what is imagined.
