His station, in their view, is the station of 'Veilship' (al-Ḥijābiyya) and 'Nameship' (al-Ismiyya).

We, however, exalt him and testify to his Eternal Divinity (al-Ilāhiyya al-Sarmadiyya) and affirm his 'Meaningness' (al-Ma'nawiyya); that there is no god for the worlds other than Him, and no object of worship for us or for them except Him.
