                       Existence  itself  contradicts               This  theory  also  does  not
                       non-existence, so existence is            lead  to  Pantheism,  as  it
                       always  necessary.  It  proves            differentiates between existence

                       that  everything  except  God             and  manifestations  of  it  and
                       does  not  exist  because  they           proves that manifestations are
                       are  not  necessary  to  their            not on the stage of God.

                       existence;  otherwise,  they                 Proponents  of  this  theory
                       should always exist.                      have  argued  in  many  verses
                         Effects  are  nothing  except           and narrations; some of which
                       copulative      existence       in        come in the following;

                       comparison  with  their  first               Almighty Allah said:
                       cause  (God),  as  proved  in                “He  is  the  First  and  the

                       Transcendent  Wisdom,  so                    Last,  the  Manifest  and  the
                       their existence inheres in God               Hidden,      and     He     has
                       and  depends  on  Him.  They                 knowledge  of  all  things”.
                       have no independent existence                (The Qur’an, 57: 3)

                       of  their  own  as  beings.  They
                       are  relations  to  God  in  their           This  verse  indicates  the
                       existence, not existence itself.          existential ontological surroundings

                       So, the cause is real, and the            of God, which means that He
                       effects are related to it.                has filled existence from first
                         The  Unity  of  Existence               to  last,  from  outward  to

                       does not mean that everything             innermost, and that there is no
                       except God is delusional or a             space  for  anything  else.  This
                       mirage;  Because  this  theory            ontological surrounding leads

                       says  that  they  do  not  exist          to  an  epistemic  surrounding
                       themselves  as  beings  while             as well.
                       admitting them as manifestations             The Qur’an also said:
                       of that One being (Necessary                 “He  is Allah, the One, the

                       Existence).                                  All-Paramount”. (The Qur’an,
                                                                    39: 4)
