Islam, for one, also asserts the incomprehensibility of Allah. f.e, Ta-Ha 20:110: "He knows their past and their future, while none encompasses His knowledge." Islamic fiqh states that "his true nature cannot be described by anyone nor can thinkers imagine that nature" and "to know Him one considers His signs, but one does not think about His essence." See also Dr. Samuel Zwemer's "The Moslem Doctrine of God". -- George C A Reid WWW: http://people.FreeBSD.org/~greid/ Mob: (07740) 197460 FreeBSD Committer/Developer greid@FreeBSD.org Oriel College, Oxford University george.reid@oriel.ox.ac.uk To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
