Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner asks: What is the relationship between the chapter in which the Shaykh discusses the confusion between the religious realities of the imperative and the created realities of the divine decree, and the preceding chapter on the evidence for refuting the Unity of Existence?
Answer:
The relationship is clear: the proponents of the Unity of Existence say that there is no command and no prohibition, because it is one thing; the universe is one, so how can it command itself and prohibit itself? So the Shaykh says: Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, commands and prohibits, which indicates the difference between the Creator and the created.
