God is Living, Murid (with Intention), Mutakallim, and Truthful (Sadiq)

We should know that Allah, the Mighty and the High is living and 'living implies a quality, through which power and wisdom should be revealed. Since it is proved that Allah, the Mighty and the High is all-knowing and all-powerful, the quality of life is also proved for Him. However, but the life of created beings occurs by occurrence of a quality, whereas God is alive on His own without a quality of a created being applicable to Him; and in fact this quality again refers back to His knowledge and power.

We should know that Allah, the Mighty and the High is Murid, that all His acts occur through His choice and intention. They are not inadvertent, which come about without choice and intention as the burning property of the fire and falling down of the stone. First we think of an act; after that we think of its benefit and this acts as a motivation for us to perform it; till we reaches the limit of determination and at that time that act is performed by us.

However since there is no contradiction of condition and occurrence in the being of the Almighty; that is why the knowledge, which the Almighty Allah has that the existence of so and so matter in so and so time is expedient for the system of the universe, it is the same cause of its being at that time.

That is why Imamiyah theologians say that intention refers back to knowledge and the knowledge of the better option is also an intention.

It is also mentioned in traditions that this same invention is intention and this quality is from the act and it is incidental. Though there are many points in this subject, but for the duty bound it is sufficient to know that all acts of the Almighty Allah occur through His intention and choice according to exigency and wisdom and He is not helpless in those acts.

We should know that the Almighty Allah is Mutakallim, that is He creates letters and voices in a body, without the faculty of mouth or any other organ: like through His perfect power. speech was created in the tree and Prophet Musa (a.s.) heard it. He creates sounds in the heavens, which the angels hear and bring as divine revelation; and He creates inscriptions in the heavenly tablets as well, which angels read and bring down as divine revelation. He also creates revelation and speech in the hearts of prophets, successors and angels.

This quality of creating speech is not a divine quality, which should necessarily be from eternity; on the contrary, it is a quality of action and it is incidental, because perfection of truth is knowledge of those meanings and letters; and He has the power to create letters and voices in anything He wants.

Both these qualities knowledge and power are eternal; and the quality of creating speech is mentioned separately. because the sending of prophets and duties of Almighty Allah is basis of divine revelation; and books and divine words present in Quran and other heavenly scriptures are incidental. Whereas the knowledge of Allah is eternal and He is separate from speech and self-speech, about which Ashaira believe in, is invalid.

We should also know that the Almighty Allah is Truthful (Sadiq) and falsehood is not possible from Him, because reason dictates that He should be free of all evil and falsehood also being an evil He is from falsehood as well.

In some cases falsehood, under exigency is allowed for us, even though it is an evil; but it is allowed due to our helplessness; since we are incapable of repelling the trouble caused by the word of truth; whereas Allah cannot be helpless. Moreover, there is consensus of people of all religions that the Almighty Allah is truthful in all acts and the books of Allah are full of this subject matter and this matter is a fundamental of faith.
