Whoever is required to have self-perfection and intrinsic richness is not a cause of anything because his being a cause results in his being dependent on the effect, and the essence is free from being dependent on anything, so being a cause is impossible, but divinity may accept additions. If it is said that God is only applied to the one who has perfect essence and is rich. The essence does not mean addition or attribution. We said that there is no disagreement in the wording other than the cause, for it is in the origin of its position and from its meaning it calls for an effect. If what is meant by the cause is what this man meant by God, then he is a Muslim, and there remains no dispute in this wording except from the point of view of the Sharia: whether it prevents, permits, or remains silent .
