God is considered the only necessary existence, the rest of creation as <a href="/wiki/Contingency_(philosophy)" title="Contingency (philosophy)">contingent</a>. Since God is described as "knowing" and "perfect," God must know Himself perfectly and know that He is the cause of all existence. But in order to have perfect knowledge of a cause, one must also know the effect of the cause. Therefore, God knows every form of existence in past, future, and present. Based on the model of <a href="/wiki/Ibn_Sina" class="mw-redirect" title="Ibn Sina">ibn Sina</a>, God knows about the existence of x because of x, whereas humans know about a thing x from another thing x'. Therefore, God would create the universe in eternity. To further support this argument, emanationists point out against Creation ex Nihilo, that, if God were to decide to create the universe at a certain point in time, God would have a change of mind, affected by something external. Since God is the source of everything, something external could not have affected God.<sup id="cite_ref-plato.stanford.edu_96-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-plato.stanford.edu-96"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>96<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> </p><p>Theologians found the emanation theory to be unconvincing, because the theory equates God to much with nature, by that, restricting God's freedom. Instead, they propose, God created the world from nothing at a certain point <i>t</i> in time. In response to the emanationists' objection, that for Creation ex Nihilo, a change in the will of God would be required, <a href="/wiki/Al-Ghazali" title="Al-Ghazali">al-Ghazali</a> explains that God has willed from all eternity, to create the world at a certain time <i>t</i>. Additionally, God would not only have created the universe at a time <i>t</i>, but also continues to create the universe in any following moment. </p><p>A variant of the theory of the manifestation of a single reality can be found particularly in <a href="/wiki/Mulla_Sadra" title="Mulla Sadra">Mulla Sadra</a>, who was inspired by Muhyī d-Dīn Ibn ʿArabī. According to Mulla Ṣadra, only God is eternal and perfect, the universe, including its inhabitants, is constantly changing. Because of that, everything is in a constant process of growth and decay. The prophets and the angels were also integrated into this universalistic understanding of God. According to Heydar Amuli, who also builds on Ibn Arabi's metaphysics, the angels are the representatives of God's beautiful names (and devils of the imperious names of God).<sup id="cite_ref-97" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-97"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>97<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Eternity">Eternity</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=God_in_Islam&amp;action=edit&amp;section=11" title="Edit section: Eternity"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Islam asserts that God is eternal (<i>qadim</i>) and thus timeless.

In addition to that the imams of the salaf (the righteous early generations of Muslims) used to say bila kayf (without how or modality at all).

For Ibn Taymiyya, this means that the Salaf knew the meanings of the Divine attributes, and they do not merely delegate them to God. However, certain formulaic statements attributed to them do not appear to support his position unequivocally. Ibn Taymiyya notes that al-Awza'i (d. 157/774), <a href="/wiki/Sufyan_al-Thawri" title="Sufyan al-Thawri">Sufyan al-Thawri</a> (d. 161/778), and others said concerning the attributes, "Let them pass by as they came", and "Let them pass by as they came, without how". He explains that letting the attributes pass by (imrār) means leaving them intact and not stripping away their meanings, while affirming the attributes "without how" or "without modality" (bi-lā kayf) means not assimilating them to the attributes of creatures. With this, Ibn Taymiyya holds affirmation of the meanings of God's attributes together with denial of their likeness to creatures in a double perspective by drawing a distinction between the known meanings of the attributes and their inscrutable modalities.<sup id="cite_ref-Ayman_Shihadeh_125-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Ayman_Shihadeh-125"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>121<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-Carl_Sharif_120-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Carl_Sharif-120"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>117<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> </p><p>Ibn Taymiyya does not clarify how modality (kayfiyya) and meaning (ma'na) relate to each other semantically. Rather, he deploys the two terms in tandem to maintain the seemingly paradoxical conviction that God is completely different and beyond human experience on the one hand while God's attributes do signify something real and meaningful in human language on the other. In denying knowledge of the modality and affirming knowledge of the meaning, Ibn Taymiyya does not resolve the paradox, nor even acknowledge it, but simply holds its two sides together in the conviction that this is the most faithful and rational set of beliefs.<sup id="cite_ref-Ayman_Shihadeh_125-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Ayman_Shihadeh-125"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>121<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> </p><p>It is often assumed that the question of God's nature has occupied the minds of early Muslims, and as such Muhammad forbade them from thinking about it, as he said: "Think about God's bounties, but do not think about God's essence (dhat).

Accordingly, Muslims should not think about what God is, but about his attributes and his blessings granted to humanity, because God's essence (dhat) cannot be understood by the limited human capacity.<sup id="cite_ref-126" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-126"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>122<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> In this regard it has been mentioned in some narrations that are ascribed to Ahmad ibn Hanbal (d. 241/855),<sup id="cite_ref-127" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-127"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>123<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-128" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-128"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>124<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> it has been reported that he said:<sup id="cite_ref-129" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-129"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>Note 5<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> "Whatever comes to your mind (i.e., regarding God and His nature), God is different than that."<sup id="cite_ref-130" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-130"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>125<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> Or in the words: "God is completely different from whatever comes to your mind concerning Him." </p><p>According to <a href="/wiki/Al-Shahrastani" title="Al-Shahrastani">al-Shahrastani</a> (d. 548/1154) in his <a href="/wiki/Al-Milal_wa_al-Nihal" title="Al-Milal wa al-Nihal">al-Milal wa al-Nihal</a> ("Religious Sects and Divisions"), Ahmad ibn Hanbal and <a href="/wiki/Dawud_al-Zahiri" title="Dawud al-Zahiri">Dawud al-Zahiri</a> (d. 270/884) and a group of imams of the Salaf, they followed the way of the early traditionalists (<a href="/wiki/Ashab_al-hadith" class="mw-redirect" title="Ashab al-hadith">ashab al-hadith</a>), such as <a href="/wiki/Malik_ibn_Anas" title="Malik ibn Anas">Malik ibn Anas</a> (d. 179/795).

Their position was that these ambiguous verses must be understood in light of the Qur'anic dictum that, "There is nothing whatever like Him" [Q. 42:11] hence negating all possibilities of anthropomorphism.

This obviates (or at least minimizes) the need to appeal, for a proper understanding of revelation, to any factors or considerations extrinsic to the texts, including—indeed, especially—the deliverances of abstract rational speculation as practiced by the philosophers and theologians.3 We have seen in previous chapters that Ibn Taymiyya's overriding concern in the Darʾ taʿāruḍ is to vindicate a plain-sense understanding and straightforward affirmation of the divine attributes predicated of God in revelation over against the rationalists' negation (nafy) or nullification (taʿṭīl) of any of the said attributes. He insists that this way of affirmation was the consensus approach and understanding of the Salaf, and for that reason it remains uniquely authoritative throughout time. The kinds of rational objections (muʿāriḍ ʿaqlī) raised by various theological schools usually involve the claim that a given revealed attribute (such as the possession of a hand or face, or the act of descending or settling upon the throne), if affirmed of God in accordance with the obvious sense (ẓāhir) of the texts, would entail a "likening" (tamthīl) or "assimilation" (tashbīh) of God to created beings and thus infringe upon the radical uniqueness of God's divinity and His utter dissimilarity to anything tainted by creatureliness, contingency, or limitation of any kind.</q></cite><span title="ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&amp;rft_val_fmt=info%3Aofi%2Ffmt%3Akev%3Amtx%3Abook&amp;rft.genre=book&amp;rft.btitle=Ibn+Taymiyya+on+Reason+and+Revelation&amp;rft.series=Islamic+Philosophy%2C+Theology+and+Science.+Texts+and+Studies&amp;rft.pages=179-226&amp;rft.pub=Brill&amp;rft.date=2020&amp;rft.isbn=9789004412866&amp;rft.au=Carl+Sharif+El-Tobgui&amp;rft_id=https%3A%2F%2Fbrill.com%2Fview%2Fbook%2F9789004412866%2FBP000008.xml&amp;rfr_id=info%3Asid%2Fen.wikipedia.org%3AGod+in+Islam" class="Z3988"></span></span> </li> <li id="cite_note-121"><span class="mw-cite-backlink"><b><a href="#cite_ref-121">^</a></b></span> <span class="reference-text"><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1238218222"><cite id="CITEREFZulfiqar_Ali_Shah2012" class="citation book cs1">Zulfiqar Ali Shah (2012). <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://books.google.com/books?id=0ySUUssvLdEC"><i>Anthropomorphic Depictions of God: The Concept of God in Judaic, Christian, and Islamic Traditions: Representing the Unrepresentable</i></a>. <a href="/wiki/International_Institute_of_Islamic_Thought" title="International Institute of Islamic Thought">International Institute of Islamic Thought</a> (IIIT). p.&#160;578. <a href="/wiki/ISBN_(identifier)" class="mw-redirect" title="ISBN (identifier)">ISBN</a>&#160;<a href="/wiki/Special:BookSources/9781565645752" title="Special:BookSources/9781565645752"><bdi>9781565645752</bdi></a>.</cite><span title="ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&amp;rft_val_fmt=info%3Aofi%2Ffmt%3Akev%3Amtx%3Abook&amp;rft.genre=book&amp;rft.btitle=Anthropomorphic+Depictions+of+God%3A+The+Concept+of+God+in+Judaic%2C+Christian%2C+and+Islamic+Traditions%3A+Representing+the+Unrepresentable&amp;rft.pages=578&amp;rft.pub=International+Institute+of+Islamic+Thought+%28IIIT%29&amp;rft.date=2012&amp;rft.isbn=9781565645752&amp;rft.au=Zulfiqar+Ali+Shah&amp;rft_id=https%3A%2F%2Fbooks.google.com%2Fbooks%3Fid%3D0ySUUssvLdEC&amp;rfr_id=info%3Asid%2Fen.wikipedia.org%3AGod+in+Islam" class="Z3988"></span></span> </li> <li id="cite_note-122"><span class="mw-cite-backlink"><b><a href="#cite_ref-122">^</a></b></span> <span class="reference-text"><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1238218222"><cite id="CITEREFFrederic_Volpi2013" class="citation book cs1">Frederic Volpi, ed.
