CONCERNING
ALLAH'S
BEING AND ATTRIBUTES
The Term Aqida means Proper Islamic Belief.
Aqida 1: Almighty Allah is One.
He has no partners in Being, attributes, actions, commands or in Names.
Almighty Allah is "Waajibul Wajood" (His existence is necessary). His
non-existence is absolutely impossible (Muhaal). Almighty Allah is Qadeem
(Always was, always will be; not a creation). Another name for this is Azali or
Abadi. It is Allah alone who is worthy of worship.
It must be understood that Almighty
Allah is One. In other words there is only one Allah. If any person believes
that his "god" has partners, then that god of his is not Allah. Allah
is one without any partners. Almighty Allah being Waajibul Wajood means that
Almighty Allah's existence is necessary. In other words, if someone claims for
his (so-called) god to be non-existent, then it is clear that that is not
Allah. Allah is "All Existing". Muhaal means that which
can never occur, in other words another Allah or the non existence of Allah is
Muhaal. When we say that Almighty Allah is Qadeem, we mean that Almighty Allah
has not been created. Allah always was and always will be. It is our (belief)
that Allah alone is worthy or worship.
عقا ئد متعلقہ ذات و صفاتِ الٰہی جَلّ جلا لہ،
عقیدہ (۱): اﷲ (عزوجل) ایک ہے، کوئی اس کا شریک نہیں، نہ ذات
میں، نہ صفات میں، نہ افعال میں نہ احکام میں، نہ اسماء میں ، واجب الوجود ہے،
یعنی اس کا وجود ضروری ہے اور عَدَم مُحَال، قدیم ہے یعنی ہمیشہ سے ہے، اَزَلی کے بھی یہی معنی ہیں،
باقی ہے یعنی ہمیشہ رہے گا اور اِسی کو اَبَدی بھی کہتے ہیں۔ وہی اس کا مستحق ہے
کہ اُس کی عبادت و پرستش کی جائے۔
Aqida 2: Almighty Allah is free from need (be parwa), in other words Allah is not dependant on anyone or anything rather the entire creation is dependant on Almighty Allah.
Aqida 2: Almighty Allah is free from need (be parwa), in other words Allah is not dependant on anyone or anything rather the entire creation is dependant on Almighty Allah.
When we say that Almighty Allah is free from, it means
that Almighty Allah is not in need of anything from anyone. Almighty Allah does
not depend on anything or anyone. In other words, every single atom in the
creation is dependant on the One Creator "ALLAH".
There are those, who think (Allah
forbid) that Almighty Allah created Angels etc to do certain chores, so these
mean that Allah is dependant on them to do these chores. This is totally
incorrect. Almighty Allah created the Angels as His servants and gave them the
opportunity to serve Him as their Lord. It is the Angels and all the creation
that are dependant on Allah and Allah is without doubt dependant on none.
عقیدہ (۲): وہ بے پرواہ ہے، کسی کا محتاج نہیں اور تمام جہان
اُس کا محتاج۔
