Imam Ali (AS) said, ‘[Faith in] Allahs divine Unity is that you do not subject Him to the limitations of your imagination.

Imam al-Sadiq (AS) said, ‘[Faith in] Allahs divine Unity is that you do not deem applicable to your Lord that which applies to you, and [faith in] His divine Justice is that you do not blame Him for that which you are blameworthy.

Imam al-Rida (AS) said, ‘The very first step to Allahs worship is to attain inner knowledge of Him, and the origin of attaining inner knowledge of Allah, Exalted be His Praise, is through His divine Unity.
