The People Who Are Abroad Are All Those That Have No Religion, Neither One Based On Speculation Nor One Received By Tradition. Such Are The Extreme Turks That Wander About In The North, The Kushites Who Live In The South, And Those In Our Country Who Are Like These.

All Attributes Ascribed To God Are Attributes Of His Acts, And Do Not Imply That God Has Any Qualities.
