“The Lord bringeth to pass what He willeth and chooseth. They (men) have never any choice. (6) Since the religion of Islam consists of duties and commands from God, the Creator, and since the person who follows its doctrinal and practical injunctions has submitted himself to the Will of God, in the language of the Holy Quran this religion is called “Islam” (“submission” or “surrender”). “Lo! Religion with Allah (is) the Surrender.

The Superiority of Islam in the Doctrine of Divine Unity The above are the three stages that the lovers of the Truth in the various religions of the world pass through. When they begin their travel on the way to spiritual perfection they take these stages to be their final goal. Islam, however, does not limit itself to these stages but delineates a goal for its followers which is even higher and which surpasses the goal formulated in the text of any other religion.

For, it does not stop at negating all limitations from God and considering Him as infinite and transcendent over all qualification, but it goes so far as to negate from Him this very quality of Infinity (since every quality [even that of Infinity] cannot help but “qualify” and so limit that to which it is attributed.) Hence the Divine Essence is considered as transcending all names and designations and even as transcending this very description.
