Answering Answering Islam's Article "On The Philosophical Necessity of the Trinity Based On The Attributes Of God" The Divine Attributes are a subject of deep philosophical and theological research. In general there are two basic types of Attributes. 1] Absolute Attributes 2] Relative Attributes. Absolute Attributes are often defined as follow:=
Those attributes of God which he has in himself, which can be exercised apart from his relationship to his creation, are referred to as his absolute attributes. Aseity, Simplicity, Infinity, Immensity, Eternity, immutable/Unchangeableness,Uniqueness,Holiness,Greatness,Obliquity ,Perfection. Relative Attributes of God. Relative Attributes Of God are defined as follow:
Relative attributes of God are those attributes which God exercises as concerns his Creations. Example: Mercy,Justice, Forgiveness, Generosity ,Kindness, Providence ,Wrath etcetera. Moral Attributes are included in them as well.
Unfortunately a large number of scholars have included the Divine Attributes like Omniscience, Omnipotence, Divine Will in the category of Relative Attributes Of Deity. But they are very different from the Attributes like Mercy, Justice etc. So in such discussion one must constitute a separate case for them.
