Analysis of the condition (hāl) of being (hastī) as being necessary (wājib) and being contingent (mumkin)

The being of that entity which has being, is either necessary (wājib) in itself due to its own nature, or it is not necessary. ¹ The being of that which is not necessary in itself is either an impossibility (mumtani‘) or a contingency (mumkin). Whatever is impossible in itself can never be realized (maujud) as we indicated previously. ²
