He conveys news, but not with the tongue or voice. He listens, but not with the holes of the ears or the organs of hearing. He says, but does not utter words. He remembers, but does not memorise. He determines, but not by exercising His mind. He loves and approves without any sentimentality (of heart). He hates and feels angry without any painstaking. When He intends to create someone He says “Be” and there he is, not by a voice that is heard or a call that is audible, but His speech, may He be glorified, is an act from Him, that He originated and fashioned. It was not existing before that, if it had been eternal, it would have been the second god.
