Imam Ja’far al Sadiq (The Sixth Imam) I. Seeing God 2. The name that can be named E. Imam Kazim the Seventh Imam God’s Might and Majesty C. Imam al-Baqir, the Fifth Imam The Incomparable Lord Abu Basir has related that a man came to Abu Ja’far (the fifth Imam) and said to him, “O Abu Ja’far, tell me about thy Lord! When was He ?” He (a.s) replied: “Woe unto thee!
Surely it is said of a thing that was not, and then was, ‘When was it?’ But my Lord-blessed is He and high exalted – was ever-living without ‘how’ and had no ‘was’. His Being (kawn) had no ‘how’, nor had it any ‘where’. He was not in anything, nor was He on anything. He did not bring into existence a place for His Being. He increased not in strength after bringing things into being, nor was He weak before bringing things into being. And He was not lonely (Mustawhish) before creating things.
He resembles nothing brought into being. He was not devoid of power over the dominion before its production that He should be devoid of the dominion [52] after its passing. He remains Living without (created) life, a powerful King before He produces anything (over which to rule) and an all-compelling King (Malik Jabbar) after He produces the universe. His Being has no ‘how’, nor has it any ‘where’, nor has it any limit. He is not known through anything resembling Him.
He ages not through the duration of His subsistence. He is thunderstruck by nothing. Nothing causes Him to fear. And all things are thunderstruck by fear of Him.” [53] “He is Living without temporal life, without a being (kawn) described by attributes, without a state which can be defined, without a trace which can be followed, and without a place adjacent to anything. Nay, He is a Living One who knows, a King whoever is. His are the power and the dominion.
He produces what He wills through His will. He is neither limited nor divided into parts, and He perishes not. He was the First, without ‘how’, and He will be the Last, without ‘where’. And ‘All things perish, except His Face’ (28: 88).
