teaching, God is absolutely transcendent, His will is not bound up with any of our categories, even that of rationality» However this is not the universal Muslim opinion... The Mutazila (school of thought believed) that God was rational and «justice was the essence of God, He could not wrong anybody, he could not enjoin
anything contrary to reason.»
