nor can the All-Powerful be known except through His power, nor the Artisan except through His artisanship.

Yet, this is the very pinnacle of infidelity, misguidance, falsehood, and absurdity! Not a single one of these individuals is considered by me to be a monotheist.

Indeed, nothing compelled me to detail the doctrines of these corrupters except the necessity of establishing the school of the God-fearing, demonstrating the soundness of the Monotheists' belief, and ensuring that future generations hold a favorable opinion of me. For the disputes and discords that occurred between me and the people of the mountain (Ahl al-Jabal) were entirely over these corrupt lineages and innovations, just as I mentioned at the beginning of this debate. Moreover, unprecedented matters have emerged in the world during my time, consisting of conflicting schools of thought, religions, differing religious laws, and manifest sects that the world detests. Furthermore, innovations have appeared from which people shudder, and difficult affairs continually arise in the world, terrorizing and overwhelming them, alongside the manifestation of decreed celestial events that no creature can avert or deny and the disruption of their affairs, colliding one with another.
