Shaykh Fakhru-d-Din Ibn 'Asakir, may Allah have mercy upon him, said:

Know, may Allah guide us and you, that it is obligatory upon every accountable person to know that Allah is the only God in His dominion.

He created the entire world, the upper and lower, the 'Arsh and the Kursi, the heavens and earth, and what is in them and in between them.

All the creation is subjugated by His Power. No speck moves except by His will.

He has no manager for the creation with Him, and has no partner in Dominion.

He is Living and Self-Subsistent. He is not seized by somnolence or sleep.

He is the One Who knows about the unforeseen and what is evidenced by His creation. Nothing on earth or in heaven is hidden from Him. He knows what is on land and in sea. Not a leaf does fall but He knows about it. There is no grain in the darkness of earth, nor anything which is moist or dry but is inscribed in a clear Book. His Knowledge encompasses everything. He knows the count of all things.

He does whatever He wills. He has the power to do whatever He wills.

To Him belong the kingdom and He needs none; To Him belong the glory and Everlastingness. To Him are the ruling and the decree. He has the names of perfection. No one hinders what He decreed. No one prevents what He gives. He does in His kingdom whatever He wills. He rules His creation with whatever He wills.
He does not hope for reward and does not fear punishment.

There is no right on Him that is binding, and no one exercises rule over Him.

Every endowment from Him is due to His Generosity and every punishment from Him is just. He is not questioned about what He does, but they are questioned.

He existed before the creation. He does not have a before or an after. He does not have an above or a below, a right or a left, an in front of or a behind, a whole or a part.

It must not be said: When was He? Or where was He? Or how is He? He existed without a place. He created the universe and willed for the existence of time. He is not bound to time and is not designated with place.

His management of one matter does not distract Him from another. Delusions do not apply to Him, and He is not encompassed by the mind. He is not conceivable in the mind. He is not imagined in the self nor pictured in delusions. He is not grasped with delusions or thoughts. Nopthing is similar to Him, and he is the All-hearing and all-seeing.

Know, may Allah be merciful to you by guiding you to the acceptable deeds, that our Master Muhammad, the son of 'Abdullah, the son of 'Abdul Muttalib, the son of Hashim, the son of 'Abdu Manaf, the son of Qusayy, the son of Kilab, the son of Murrah, the son of Ka'b, the son of Lu'ayy, the son of Ghalib, the son of Fihr, the son of Malik, the son of an-Nadr, the son of Kinanah, the son of Khuzaymah, the son of Mudrikah, the son of Ilyas, the son of Mudar, the son of Nizar, the son of Ma'add, the son of 'Adnan, is the slave of Allah, His Messenger, His Prophet, and His Beloved

He is the best of the entire creation, and the leader of his followers who will have shining faces and illuminating upper arms and lower legs on the Day of Judgment. His Lord sent him to the humans and jinn as a luminous lantern, giving good tidings and warnings, and calling to worship Allah by His Will.

He got the Revelation through the entrusted Jibril who is the head of the honored angels. Allah created them from light. Obedience is inherent in them, and Allah gave them the strength to obey. They do not sleep and they do not get tired. They do not eat or drink. They do not disobey Allah, but rather they perform all that which they are ordered to do.

His Book is the wise Dhikr. His laws are straight, truthful, and easy. His Ummah is the best of the communities. No human has a higher status than his, and no creature can attain his status.

He is the last of the Prophets and their leader, the most knowledgeable among them and the highest in status, the most articulate and the strongest, the most beautiful, brave, courageous, and generous. He had the most signs among them and the most outstanding miracles.

All the prophets were people of merit and patience, belief and certainty, truthfulness and religiousness, chastity and impeccability, intelligence and brilliance, trustworthiness; and conveyance of the message. The prophets were numerous, the first of them was Adam, peace be upon him, who was created from clay as an unimpaired human in the best of forms. After him among his offspring are: Shith, Idris, Nuh, Hud, Salih, Shu'ayb, Ibrahim, Lut, Isma'il, Ishaq, Ya'qub, Yusuf, Musa, Harun, Yeshu'a, Yunus, Ayyub, Dhu-l-Kifl, Ilyas, Alyasa', Dawud, Sulayman, Zakariyya, Yahya, 'Isa, al-Khadir, and many others.

Their religion is one: Islam, submission to Allah's will. They are the best of Allah's creations. They are alive, praying in their graves. They are mediators who intercede on the Day of Judgment, and the intercession of our prophet is the greatest.

The summation of all what was mentioned in the 'Aqidah named Al-Murshidah and in this supplement is included in the hadith of the Messenger of Allah, sall-Allahu 'alayhi wa sallam: "Iman is to believe in Allah, His angels, His books, His messengers, the Day of Judgment, and Destiny, in what is good and what is evil. This hadith is sahih, and is related by Muslim.
