The Conceptology of "Denial of Attributes from God" in the First Sermon of Nahj al-Balāghah

One of the essential theological topics is the discussion of the monotheism and oneness of God, which has always attracted the attention of thinkers. The Islamic religious texts have presented the highest ideas whose primary pillars are rooted in the Quran and explained by Imam Ali (AS) in Nahj al-Balāghah. With a library, documentary, and analytic-descriptive method, the present study aimed to express and analyse the issue of denial of attributes from God in the first sermon of Nahj al-Balāghah and its meanings and various possibilities. The result indicated that the only justifiable sense of rejection of features from God in this sermon, especially regarding the arguments of Ali (AS), is a denial of characteristics from the essence stage and oneness monotheism and associated with personal unity of God is superior to singleness and numerical monotheism.
