There are two paths to knowledge of God, without a third, and whoever unites God other than these two paths is imitating in his monotheism (the one path) the path of revelation, which is a necessary knowledge that occurs upon revelation. Man finds it in himself. He does not accept any doubt with him and is unable to ward it off, and he does not know any evidence for that to rely on except what He finds it in himself, except that some of them said: He gives the evidence and the meaning in revealing it, for what is not known except by the evidence, so the evidence must be revealed to him, and our friend Abu Abdullah bin Al-Kattani in the city of Fez used to say this article. I heard that from him and he told about his situation, and he was truthful and wrong in saying that the matter cannot be. Otherwise, others find this in themselves as a taste without the evidence being revealed to him. As for it happening to him through a divine manifestation that happens to him, and they are the messengers, the prophets, and some of the saints (and the second way) is the way of thought and reasoning by rational proof, and this way is less than the first way, then the one who looks into the evidence Fatal suspicions may enter his evidence, so he undertakes to uncover them and search for the truth in the matter sought, and there is no third way. These are the people of knowledge who bear witness to the monotheism [Page 320 of the Cairo edition] of God, and to this class of scholars, to the monotheism of God in evidence and theory.
