Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the validity of this statement: "There is no reality in existence except He"? Is it from the doctrine of the unity of existence?
Answer:
This is the unity of existence. "There is no existence but Allah" is the unity of existence itself. In existence there is Allah and there is other than Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He).
