In Episode 15, Ali and Fatima unpack a complex but powerful perspective on Tawheed—the absolute oneness of God. Drawing from classical sources and a statement by Imam Ali (a) in Nahjul Balagha, the episode explores the idea that God’s attributes—His knowledge, power, and life—aren’t just things He possesses, but are identical to His essence.
What does it mean to say “God is knowledge” rather than “God has knowledge”? What are the dangers of thinking about God’s essence in human terms? And how does this view explain that true knowledge of God leads not to clarity—but to awe, to bewilderment, to Tahayyur?
From discussions on anthropomorphism to the meaning of the name Allah, this episode will push you to reframe how you think about divine understanding. Can a finite mind ever grasp the infinite?
