Belief: Allah is Qaadir (has Divine Power) over everything that is possible (Mumkin). There is nothing possible that is out of his Power. Belief: Allah Tha’ala is Free from anything which is ‘Muhaal’ (absolutely impossible). It cannot be connected to His Qudrat, because ‘Muhaal’ (absolutely impossible) refers to that which can never exist, and if it were to be regarded as ‘Maqdoor’ i.e. within His Divine Power, then there would be a possibility of it existing, and it would no longer be regarded as something which is ‘Muhaal’. It can be better understood through this: Another Allah is ‘Muhaal’; meaning that another Allah can never exist. If this were within the Divine Power of Allah, then it would be regarded as something that can come into existence, and would thus no longer be regarded as ‘Muhaal’; and not to believe that it is ‘Muhaal’ (for another Allah to exist), is to reject the ‘Wahdaniyat’ (Oneness) of Allah. Similarly, the destruction of Allah is ‘Muhaal’. If it were to be within His Divine Power, then it would have been regarded as being a possibility, and one who can come to an end, can never be Allah. It has thus been proven that to believe that a ‘Muhaal’ is within the Divine Power of Allah, is to reject the Divine Oneness of Allah. Belief: It is not necessary for every Maqdoor to be present or in existence.(An example of this, is that if Allah Wills then He can create a Mountain of gold or make the skies of rubies, but this is not so. It therefore does not mean that it has to be in existence. It is His Will that He brings into existence whatever He Wills, so it does not mean that even though these things are not present, they cannot exist. They are thus regarded as being ‘Mumkin’.) However, it is necessary for it to be ‘Mumkin’, i.e. a possibility, even though it may not be in existence. Belief: Almighty Allah is All Splendid and Most Graceful. He is free from all that which has deficiency or defect. In other words, it is ‘Muhaal’ for there to be any deficiency or defect in Allah. Moreover, even that which neither has deficiency nor splendour, is ‘Muhaal’ for Allah. In other words Allah is free from lies, deceit, distrust, tyranny, ignorance and immodesty etc. These are all absolutely ‘Muhaal’ for Allah. To say that He has Qudrat (Power) over lying, in this sense, that he can tell a lie, is to declare a Muhaal (absolutely impossible) to be Mumkin (possible); and to imply that Almighty Allah has defect. This, in reality is to reject Almighty Allah. To think that Almighty Allah’s Qudrat (Divine Power) has a weakness if He does not have Power over a Muhaal, (absolutely impossible thing) is absolutely baseless. It is not a shortage or weakness in the Qudrat of Allah. In reality, it is the weakness and shortage of that Muhaal, that it is not worthy of having connection with the Divine Qudrat of Allah.
