ABSTRACT
As we have seen in the previous chapters, the tawḥīdic representations of Allah stress divine might (‘izza) and majesty (jalāl) and identify the manifestation of these attributes with the sacred, which constitutes an inversion of al-Quddūs, the most eminent signifier of transcendence. Tawḥīdic discourses also consider attributes such as al-Raḥmān and al-Raḥīm, which stand for divine mercy, to be of lower value than divine might and majesty. The tawḥīdic discourses, therefore, inverted mercy and identified it with God's inscrutable will.
As we have seen in the previous chapters, the tawḥīdic representations of Allah stress divine might (‘izza) and majesty (jalāl) and identify the manifestation of God's omnipotence with the sacred, which constitutes an inversion of al-Quddūs, the most eminent signifier of transcendence. Tawḥīdic discourses also consider attributes of mercy (raḥma) and love (wudd) to be of lower value than divine might and majesty. The tawḥīdic discourses, therefore, inverted mercy and identified it with God's will.
