Thus, he who does not distinguish the Essence (al-Dhat) from the Attributes, and does not recognize the separation from the connection, the 'cleaving asunder' (al-fatq) from the 'joining' (al-ratq), and motion from stillness, has not reached the Shore of Monotheism (Tawhid) 1 .
From 'The Egyptian Treatise' (al-Risala al-Misriyya):
From the treatise The Path of Knowledge and Exposition, authored by Abu Abd Allah Muhammad bin al-Hasan al-Baghdadi (may God sanctify him), he says: He who describes Him does not limit Him, and he who knows Him does not lose Him. He manifests to His creation through the Lofty Essence, which is perceived and witnessed in the Unveiled Form (al-Surah al-Anza’iyya), through which He is distinguished from the populace; so that the path may become clear for those who acknowledge Him, and the Proof (al-Hujjah) may be established against those who deny Him.
