2. Allah, Glory be to Him, is on His throne, mounting it in the manner which
suits His Majesty, as He described Himself in seven different ayat (verses) (2)
3. Allah is "the First", before Whom there is none, and "the Last" after
Whom there is none, and "the Predominant" above Whom there is none, and
"the Internal" nearer than Whom there is none, (3) and all of His attributes are
ever eternal, with neither a beginning nor an end.
4. The essence of Allah, the Exalted does not resemble that of any of His
creatures, as verified in the ayah: "There is none like unto Him, and He is the
Hearer the Seer." (4). He is the One, the Sole, the Indivisible. He is the Lord
without Whom no affairs are accomplished and to Whom Lordship ultimately
pertains. He neither begets nor is begotten. There is none equal to Him. (5)
5. Allah never indwells in any of his creatures nor do they indwell in Him. All other than Him are created by His ordinance and are subservient to His will.
