هُوَ عِلْمُ التَّوْحِيدِ وَالصِّفَاتِ
It is the science of divine oneness and attributes.
Tawḥīd principally investigates Allah's unity, divinity and the rejection of partners. The study of attributes concerns divine perfections, the denial of unworthy characteristics, and principles governing sound claims about Allah.
The broader field of creed also addresses prophethood, revelation, the hereafter and other established beliefs. Nevertheless, divine oneness and attributes form its center because the authority of religious communication and the foundation of worship depend on knowledge of Allah.
Example: “Allah is all-knowing” is a doctrinal claim; examining its evidence, correct meaning and distinction from created knowledge is a task belonging to kalām.
