Abstract

The subject of divine attributes is one of the most extensive subjects in history of Islamic thought. Muslim theologians have divided divine attributes –looking for a better understanding of it-over different factors. One of them is division of the divine attributes into Active and Essential. Reflection on Active attributes helps to find two different groups of these attributes. The first group predicated on The Supreme by means of addition of actus; such as Reviver, Creator, Sustaining ….There is other wellknown group called Actual Attributes. In fact, they are the attributes of action of The Supreme and predicated on him-The Supreme by means of that action, such as Veracity, Justice, and Wisdom. In this essay, we are to prove the second group attributes besides its distinction with the first group attributes.
