The reader: "A chapter on the categories of tawhid (the oneness of Allah) and the difference between the tawhid of the messengers and the tawhid of the deniers who negate the divine attributes"
"So listen, for its types are five *** Their categories have been clarified by explanation
The tawhid of the followers of Ibn Sina, which is *** attributed to Aristotle of the Greeks"
The Shaykh : To Aristotle, to Aristotle
The student: To Aristotle
The Shaykh : Precise, may Allah reward you with good. I know it is Aristotle, but the hamza is dropped here for the sake of the meter.
"And it is *** attributed to Aristotle" Yes.
"The tawhid of the followers of Ibn Sina, which is *** attributed to Aristotle of"
Even if we drop the hamza, it does not fit the meter here.
The student: To Aristotle
The Shaykh : With elongation.
"The tawhid of the followers of Ibn Sina, which is *** attributed to Aristotle of the Greeks"
Yes, with elongation it fits, yes.
The reader: "The tawhid of the followers of Ibn Sina, which is *** attributed to Aristotle of the Greeks
They hold that the deity has no essence *** other than absolute existence, the One
Stripped of all attributes of perfection *** but an existence that, by itself, is not annihilated
It has no self other than the self of absolute existence, *** stripped of all meanings
Therefore, there is no hearing, no sight, no *** knowledge, and no speech from the Most Merciful
And therefore, they said there is no will *** and no desire for the existence of the worlds
Rather, these are necessary to Him by His essence, never *** separated from Him in any of the times
He never chose anything to do, nor *** is this ever possible for Him
And they built upon this the impossibility of the One of the *** spheres breaking the rules on the Day of Resurrection of the bodies
And therefore, they said He never knows *** anything of the existing things in reality
He does not know the number of the spheres *** nor the stars, nor those two moons
Rather, He does not hear the voice of every voice, *** no, nor does He see them with clear sight
Rather, He does not know the state of man in detail, *** from obedience and disobedience
No, nor does He have knowledge of the falling of the *** leaves or the sprouting of the branches
Knowledge in detail, this is, in their view, *** the very impossibility and the consequence of possibility
Rather, the very self of Adam is, in their view, the very impossibility, *** and it was not in the past times
The type of humans has always existed and *** does not perish, just as time and the two colors"
The Shaykh : The two colors
The reader: "The type of humans has always existed and *** does not perish, just as time and the two colors
This is the tawhid in the view of their group, *** like Ibn Sina and the second Nasir
They said, and we were compelled to this by the fear of *** composition and likening Allah to creation, which is false
And therefore, we said He has no hearing, no *** sight, and no knowledge, so how could He have hands
And likewise, we said there is nothing above the Throne *** except the impossible, and this is not possible
A body upon a body, no, both bodies are *** limited, and both are twins
And thus, they openly declared in their books, *** and they are the great leaders of disbelief
They are not eunuchs of existence, so they do not *** incline toward disbelief nor toward faith
And shirk (associating partners with Allah) is, in their view, the affirmation of the self and the *** attributes, for then two would remain there
Other than existence, so it became three there, *** therefore we negated two by proof
Negating existence, so nothing is attributed to it *** other than itself, for then it would become possible"
The Shaykh : We ask Allah for safety.
