Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. You mentioned, may Allah preserve you, that the people of the unity of existence interpret "La ilaha illa Allah" as "There is no existent except Allah." Do the Jahmiyyah say the same, given that they affirm the attribute of existence?
Answer:
No, the Jahmiyyah do not say that. The Jahmiyyah say that tawhid (the oneness of Allah) is merely knowledge in the heart, merely knowledge in the heart. Even if one does not believe, knowledge in the heart is sufficient. If one knows in his heart, that is sufficient, and this is a person of complete faith in their view. This is the most extreme of the doctrines of the Murji'ah in Islam.
