vii. Deeds

He, the Exalted, the High, there is no existence except Him, unless it occurs by His action and
proceeds
from His Justice, in the best, perfect, complete and just ways.

He is Wise in His verdicts. His justice is not to be compared with that of worshippers, because it
is
conceivable that the worshipper is unjust when he deals with properties of other than his own. But,
harm is not conceivable from Allah - the High - because He does not encounter any ownership of other
than Himself, in which His dealing could be described to be harmful.

Everything besides Him, children of Adam and jinn, angels and devils, heaven and earth, animals,
plants, and inanimates, substance and its quality, as well as things perceived and things felt, are
all
originated things which He created by His Power and before they were nothing, since He existed in
Eternity alone and there was nothing whatsoever with Him.
