above movement and going from place to another. For the one distinguished by movement is
possible, and for his existence in places is not one. When he is present in one place, he is absent
from another. When he is close to one thing, he is far from another. When he has a purpose in a
certain place, he must move and go to attain the purpose. As for Allah, the Most High, it is
impossible for Him to do that. For His ratio to all places is one. None of the places is nearer to Him
than another. Therefore, he is in no need of movement, and His existence is the same in nearness
and remoteness.
[2] Certainly all things are in need of Allah, the Exalted. For it is He who gives existence to them. If
He, the Most High, was in need of a thing, then the lack of a thing required the thing of which it
was in need through one whereness. That is impossible, for it requires the vicious circle, which is
invalid.
[3] The Imam, peace be on him, refers to the corrupt beliefs that result from maintaining that
Allah, the Most High, comes down the heaven. For that requires movement.
[4] He, peace be on him, refers to another proof of the invalid thoughts of those who claims that
Allah comes down the heaven. For that also requires His movement.
[5] He, peace be on him, warned against corrupt doubts, for it brings about destruction and
apostasy from the religion, and for that Allah, the Exalted, is far above these corrupt beliefs whose

The Imam, peace be on him, talked to his companions about negating movement from Allah, the
Most High, saying: “I do not say that He is standing and remove Him from His place, nor can I find
Him in a place where He is, nor can I find Him move through a thing such as foundations and
limbs, nor can I define Him through a word. However, that is as Allah, the Blessed and Exalted,
says: Be, so there it is through His will without hesitation in a soul. (He is) eternal and signal. He is
in no need of a partner to mention His kingdom to Him and to open to Him the doors to His
knowledge.”[3]
The Imam, peace be on him, wanted not to describe Allah, the Most High, through the rising the
linguists maintain, that His disappear from the place where He had been before His rising is
required; similarly he did not describe Him through His being in a place, that His being a limited
body is required. He also did not describe Him through the movement of the whole His body or
through the movement of the limbs, for this requires from Him change and the need of others;
Allah, the Exalted, is above all of that. The Imam, peace be on him, explained Allah’s way of
creating things, that is not through speech; rather His command when he desires a thing, He says
to it: Be, so there it is. Allah, the Most High does what He wills through His will without using any
tool or a limb, without hesitation or thinking. In creating things He is in no need of a partner to
