1250 - أدنَى مَراتِبِ مَعرِفَةِ اللَّهِ‏

1250. THE LOWEST DEGREE OF INNER KNOWLEDGE OF ALLAH

4092.الإمامُ الكاظمُ عليه السلام - لَمّا سُئلَ عَن أدنَى المَعرِفةِ - : الإقرارُ بأ نَّهُ لا إلهَ غَيرُهُ ، ولا شِبهَ لَهُ ولا نَظيرَ وأ نَّهُ قَديمٌ ، مُثبَتٌ ، مَوجودٌ ، غَيرُ فَقيدٍ ، وأ نَّهُ لَيسَ كَمِثلِه شَي‏ءٌ .¹

4092. Imam al-Kazim (AS), when he was asked about the lowest degree of inner knowledge, replied, ‘It is to affirm that there is no god but He, and that He has no likeness or match, and that He is eternal, perpetual and everlasting. He is All-existent and not absent, and that there is nothing like Him.’²
