Know that God did not make the cause of the creation of possible beings, glory be to Him, the Almighty, except the will and the divine command, and for this reason he took from taking the will in the definition of the command. God Almighty said, “Our saying of a thing when we will it is only that we say to it ‘be’.” He mentioned the will and the command and did not mention a third meaning called Power, so his saying, “And God has power over all things,” comes out as being the same as His saying of things, “Be,” if He wanted to form them.
