This Is My Faith - Al-fatlawi, Ali - الصفحة ٧٦ - More on Qualities of the Glorious Allah
· Sense and cognition which can be referred to by ‘the perception'.
The Almighty Allah is Alive in a sense that is appropriate to His exalted status. His effectiveness and perception is not similar to that of creatures and possibly in existence. Now, the evidence to His life is actually a combination of what has already been proved through our discussion on His Omnipotence and Omniscience and the correlation between them as well as the life we have just introduced through effectiveness and perception.
In other words, without His Omnipotence, it couldn’t be true to say He has perception. Also, without His Omniscience, it couldn’t be true to say He has effectiveness; this is the meaning of ‘He is the Alive’, and it is untrue to say otherwise, because He is described with Omnipotence and Omniscience, then He must be Alive. Moreover, the fact that He gives life to His creatures proves He is the Alive, otherwise He could not give what He did not have in the first place.
