Abstract

In the eleventh century AH, Hazrat Mujaddid Alf-Sani refuted Sheikh Akbar's belief in the Oneness of Being. Shaykh Akbar Ibn Arabi's argument was that the attributes of caste are exact. The universe is a manifestation of attributes and since attributes are the same essence. Therefore, the universe is also the same essence. In fact, the attributes are not exact, but superfluous. The existence of Allah Almighty is perfect in itself. He does not need attributes for His fulfillment. Attributes are the determinants of its existence. He exists. But its very existence is its essence. She is audible. By myself He is All-Knowing. He is the seer of his own self. The attributes of God Almighty are not the exact essence but the manifestation of His essence and the whole universe is not the name of the manifestation of the attributes of God but the shadow of His attributes. The shadow is never exact and the manifestation is never exact. This is called Wahdat al-Shuhud.
