Innate “Astounding” Cognition of Allah the High

In this article, the innate monotheistic knowledge of the Almighty is explained through the lens of “Divine Names and Attributes are distinct with His Essence,” grounded in the recognition of the reality of “otherness/ distinction/separation”. The article also points out the significance of Divine Names and Attributes in this type of knowledge through verses, highlighting a monotheistic knowledge with the characteristic of “perplexity”. It is emphasized that the result of this monotheistic knowledge with the specific feature of “perplexity” involves glorification and negation of immanence through Quranic verses and Divine Names and Attributes, despite considering the reality of created beings, including Divine Attributes and Names described as “contraries.” The article delves into the special feature of monotheistic knowledge, namely its “perplexity,” through the linguistic analysis of the divine word “Allah” and the alignment of this linguistic analysis with narrational sources in the definition of “Divine Monotheism.” Furthermore, the article clarifies the inconsistency between “Absolute Monotheism” or “Monotheism of the Being” and “Real Monotheism” through distinguishing it from this feature of “perplexity”. Finally, it becomes evident that the theory of “Negation along with Immanence” from the perspective of the branch of mystical sciences, is firstly a clear contradiction, which serves as a testimony to the nullification of “Absolute Monotheism.” Secondly, this theory is merely “Pure Immanence”, in direct conflict with “Negation of Immanence” and “Pure Transcendence” in “Real Monotheism” in Islamic jurisprudence.
