Imam al-Sadiq (AS) was asked about the foundation of religion, to which he replied, ‘[It is faith in] Allahs divine Unity and divine Justice … [Faith in] Allahs divine Unity is that you do not deem applicable to your Lord that which applies to you, and [faith in] His divine Justice is that you do not attribute to Him that of which you are blameworthy.
الإمامُ الصّادقُ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) ـ وقد سُئلَ عَن أساسِ الدِّينِ ـ: التَّوحيدُ والعَدلُ . . . أمّا التَّوحيدُ فأن لا تُجَوِّزَ عَلى رَبِّكَ ما جازَ عَلَيكَ ، وأمّا العَدلُ فأن لا تَنسِبَ إلى خالِقِكَ ما لامَكَ عَلَيهِ.
