Sifat - Attributes




Q.   What do we mean by Sifat Kamaliyah (perfect Attributes)?
*  Since the Almighty Al-lah is self-existent and since a self-existent must necessarily be perfect in all respects, the Attributes necessary for the perfect Being must be present in Him. Such Attributes are known as Sifat Kamaliyah (perfect Attributes).

Q.   What do we call a Being that exists from eternity to eternity?
*  Such a Being is called Qadim (eternal).

Q.   What other objects besides Al-lah are eternal?
*  The Almighty Al-lah and all His Attributes are eternal. Nothing else is eternal.

Q.   How did the Almighty Al-lah create the heaven, the earth and other things when nothing else besides Him existed?
*  Al-lah created the whole universe by His word and might. He did not need anything to make the universe or to create the sky and earth. He could not have been self-existence had He been in need of other things to create the universe. Remember that Al-lah is self-existent cannot be dependent on other things or persons.
