Is it permissible to apply the word "Mawjūd" (existent) to Allah Almighty? And is it possible to reconcile what has been narrated from Sheikh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah and Ibn al-Qayyim - may Allah have mercy on them both - regarding the permissibility of informing about Him Almighty with the word "Mawjūd," with the statement of Sheikh al-Uthaymeen - may Allah have mercy on him - in his commentary on al-Aqeedah al-Wasitiyyah, that mere belief in the existence of Allah is not faith? And is that considered among the slips of scholars?

A Muslim must be fair to scholars and interpret their words in the best possible light. Some scholars believe that expressing God as "the Truth" (Al-Haqq) is better than "existent" (Mawjud) because "the Truth" is established in revelation, as in His Almighty saying: "That is because Allah is the Truth," whereas the word "existent" did not appear in the texts of revelation. Nevertheless, it is permissible to describe God with it because God informed in several verses about the existence of His servants before Him. The statement of Ibn Uthaymeen in this context means that believing in the existence of God alone is not sufficient without unifying Him in His divinity, lordship, names, and attributes, and this is not considered a slip on the part of scholars.
