Describing Allah as the Necessary Existent
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Peace be upon you. Some logicians describe Allah as the Necessary Being.
Answer:
The meaning is correct: it is not said that Allah (Mighty and Majestic) is a Contingent Being, because a Contingent Being is one whose existence is possible and whose non-existence is possible. As for Allah (Mighty and Majestic), He is the Necessary Being; His existence (Mighty and Majestic) is real and established.
