And finally, and the summary of the speech: Indeed, the manifest intellect and insight decree—and matter, if it were a person that spoke, would say and declare—that the One who brought forth beings into the realm of existence upon what they are of attributes and states is Allah,
whom the religious believe in and maintain, and to whose knowledge the prophets and messengers called, and from whose presence the heavenly Books descended. And the Primary Cause of existence is that within which the attributes and characteristics of absolute perfection must be fully present—such as necessity, meaning that its existence must be essential and spontaneous, not sustained by another cause; and unity, meaning that it is outside the scope of multiplicity and pluralism; and eternity, meaning that it precedes all existence and is un-preceded by non-existence; and sempiternality, meaning that it remains after everything and is not overtaken by annihilation; and likewise life, capability, will, knowledge, and the like among the attributes of perfection and absolutism.
