Etymology of unification in Nahj Albalagha

Unification means to recognize god as The One. The word, one has dif ferent meanings in Arabic. There are different meanings of The One in Imam Ali’s words and some of the monotheistic words are not preferred for the glory of god. Imam Ali has purged god from numeral and typical unity. He has mentioned a condition of unification which is a level after god wisdom. In this level, unification is the position of admiration. Before it approves the unity of the creator, it proves the unification of him before the creation, his unity during the creation, and his purity from choosing any company or child after the creation. From the other side it denies any similarities between him and other creatures and it also denies any combination in his nature. Imam Ali’s explanations in Nahj Albalagha are full filled with these meaning.
