# '''Tawhid (Oneness of God)''':{{main| | # '''Tawhid (Oneness of God)''':{{main|Tawhid}} Knowing God and acknowledging the fact that from pre-existence to post-eternity, He exists and is Necessary Existent. The concept of Tawhid acknowledges positive attributes of God such as infinite power, knowledge, and existence as well as rejecting His negative attributes such as ignorance, inability to do anything, or imperfection. This also implies believing in the fact that God's attributes are the same as His essence, and that He has no additional attributes to His essence. | ||
# '''Justice [of God]''':{{main|'Adl}} Knowing that God is Just and Wise. This means that He does not do any wrong and does not abandon any proper act. God is not content with the wrong humans do.
