Attributes of God in Islam
text:
In Islamic theology, the attributes of God can be defined in one of two ways. Under divine simplicity, the attributes of God are verbal descriptions understood apophatically (negatively). God being "powerful" does not impute a distinct quality of "power" to God's essence but is merely to say that God is not weak. This view was held by the Mu'tazila and prominent Islamic philosophers like Ibn Sina (Avicenna) to preserve the notion of God's oneness (tawḥīd) and reject any multiplicity within God.
