The Islamic dogma of the One and Unique God introduces the concept of a transcendent God, the true being, the absolute Lord of the worlds to whom everything will return at the Last Day. The denial of this truth and associating with Him partners is idolatry, and it is an unpardonable sin. Such a concept of God guarantees the unity of the material and spiritual world. Man, discovering the Law of Unity, acquires a knowledge of the one God and consciously submits to His will according the innate Religion of Islam. God who is Almighty, Hidden, and full of wisdom (transcendence) is close to His creation and reveals himself through His “remnant” (immanence), which are the “Excellent Names of God”. The man answers to His presence with the love that he feels in mystical experience. In this way, the mystic frees himself from the world of multiplicity in order to be annihilated in Unity. Everyday life of a Muslim is the praise of the One God for His transcendence, thanksgiving for His immanence and mercy, and worship for His greatness.
