Abstract

Unity of the Divine Essence falls into two categories: a) one as being simple or indivisible, composed of nothing; (unicity; absolute oneness) and b) the other as Being with no partner or like (unity). Most of the Pre-Suhrawardi and Pre-Sadrian theologians and philosophers have thought of the Unity of the Divine Essence as a NUMERICAL UNITY. At least, they did not make explicit references to the theory of the true unity of the Nessassary Being. According to the Qur'anic verses, traditions and rational proofs, the unity of God is not a NUMERICAL UNITY of some kind, for NUMERICAL UNITY has the following characteristics:) it is theoretically possible for it to multiply;) it is practically possible for it to multiply;) it has essence and is existentiality limited;) it cannot coexist with all other things and it cannot encompass them sovereignly;) it lacks qualities of all other things;) it can be predicated by littleness. Since these characteristics do not inhabit the Divine Essence, the unity of God is not numerical. To affirm the true unity of God and to negate His NUMERICAL UNITY, one can have recourse to two proofs, i.e. ‘a SIMPLE REALITY includes all other realities’ proposed by Mulla Sadra and ‘a THING PER SE does not multiply’ suggested by Suhrawardi.
