It is established by metaphysical proofs that the Sacred Essence ( dhat ) of the Necessary Being combines in Itself all the perfections and all the Names and Attributes, and that in a single mode and from an aspect that is absolutely simple. All the perfections and the Names and Attributes of Beauty and Glory derive from its simple existential mode, and that which is beyond being is deficiency, defect, and non-existence.

And as His Sacred Essence is pure being and absolute existence, It is pure and absolute perfection ( kamal al-sirf wa sirf al-kamal ) . [He is] the totality of knowledge, the totality of Power and the totality of Life عِلْمٌ كُلُّهُ قُدْرَةٌ كُلُّهُ حَيَاةٌ كُلُّهُ.

The other station is that of the [Names and] Attributes of the Divine Acts ( asma’ wa sifat al-fi’liyyah ) , the plane of manifestation of the Names and Attributes of the Essence, which is the plane of manifestation of the Attributes of Glory and Beauty. And this is the station of ma’iyyat al-qayyumiyyah (contiguity of the Sustainer and the sustained existents), [referred to in the Qur’anic verse]: ﴿وَهُوَ مَعَكُمْ أَيْنَ مَا كُنْتُمْ.﴾ He is with you, wherever you may be.
