Twelver theology

The theology of Twelver Shi'ism contains the five principles of Shia Islam known as Uṣūl al-Dīn (Arabic: أصول الدين "Principles of the Faith").^[1]^[2]

For other uses, see Imamate in Twelver doctrine.

The Essence of God is one and peerless; nothing analogous or similar to Him is conceivable. According to the philosophical terminology, He is the First cause, the Essence of God is not in need of any cause [for Itself to exist].^[22]^[23]

[21]

The Essence of God is not constituted by parts, and there is no sort of multiplicity and plurality in the Divine Essence. God’s nature is simple, non-compound, without any plurality.^[23]
