Beyond Being and Being

According to metaphysical and mystical point of view, there are five degrees of unity and multiplicity, as follows: Essence, Attributes, Intellect, Soul and Body . The first two degrees belong to Divine Realm, and the rest to the Manifestation. Al-Ahad, the Divine principle, is pure attribute but the level of Attributes and Names, Al-Wahid, receives all predicates . All-Ahad is beyond Being and Al-Wahid is Being . In this paper the difference between these two terms is indicated by clarifying the concepts Absolute- Relative, Alma- Maya, and impersonal Divinity and personal God.
