Allah

The beginning of religion is to know God,

And the perfection of knowledge about Him.

Is to confirm and believe

In His Existence, And the most rational belief is the belief in His Oneness,

Pure, Unblemished and Flawless.

The absolute purity means to

disallow all descriptions of Him.

For every description bears witness

that it is other than the one described.

And so the described one is

not the description.

So whoever describes Him,

draws for Him a parallel,

Makes Him one of a pair, and thus a part of it.

To conceive Him as a part

is gross ignorance about Him;

and ignorance leads to pointing at Him.

Whoever points at Him indeed

sets a limit for Him;

And to limit Him is to count Him.

To ask “wherein is He?”

Is to contain Him.

To ask “whereupon is He?”

Is to exclude Him.

He is Existence,

not contingent - Presence,

Not from void.

With everything,

but neither together not comparable:

Away-yet not separate
