لِمَا ثَبَتَ مِنْ أَنَّهُ تَعَالَى عَالِمٌ قَادِرٌ حَيٌّ
For it is established that God is knowing, powerful, and living.
Three approaches support the affirmation: 1. the meanings of 'knowing,' 'powerful,' and 'living' add intelligible content to the bare concept of necessary existence; 2. a genuinely derivative name signifies a basis from which it is derived; 3. revelation and well-ordered acts indicate divine knowledge and power.
These are distinct arguments: one concerns concepts, another predication and language, and the third revealed and observable evidence. Together they are intended to affirm real perfections rather than empty honorific titles.
