Its voice is utterly exalted, utterly serious, truly sincere, most familiar; it is utterly convincing, decked out with proofs. Repeatedly it declares:THERE IS NO GOD BUT HE!All six aspects are transparent in this enlightened proof: upon it is the shining stamp of miraculousness; in this shines the light of guidance, which says:THERE IS NO GOD BUT HE!Yes, beneath it is interwoven logic and elegant proof; on its right is its questioning the intelligence; the mind affirms it on its every side, saying:THERE IS NO GOD BUT HE!On its left is its calling on the conscience to testify; before it is pure good; its aim is happiness and prosperity. Its key is every instant:THERE IS NO GOD BUT HE!Its support beyond it is heavenly: unadulterated Divine revelation. All these six aspects are luminous, manifested in its constellations,THERE IS NO GOD BUT HE!Can any thieving suspicion, any stealthy doubt, any renegade delusion steal in on that resplendent castle with its walls of lofty Suras, every word of which is an angel uttering:THERE IS NO GOD BUT HE!?The Qur’an of Mighty Stature is an ocean affirming Divine unity. To take a single drop as an example, a single Sura: Sura al-Ikhlas.1 Only a single, slight allusion out of innumerable allusions: its six phrases, three negative, three positive, refute all kinds of ascription of partners to God, and prove seven aspects of the affirmation of Divine unity:The First Phrase: Say, He is is unassociated. That is, it is defined as absolute. But within that definition is a specification:THERE IS NO ‘HE’ BUT HEThis is an allusion to the experiential (shuhud) affirmation of Divine unity. If the reality-perceiving gaze becomes immersed in the affirmation of Divine unity, it says:THERE IS NOTHING OBSERVED SAVE HE!The Second Phrase: God, The One is an explicit affirmation of the unity of the Godhead. Reality declares in the tongue of truth:
