Mirdamad argues, in some details, for a series of theses on wujud (existence) and ja’l (creation): first, wujud (existence) is not a property of anything; second, it is nothing but al-mojudiah al-masdariah (to-be-existent); third, what is created is mahiyah (quiddity) and not existence or quiddity’s being existent; forth, the resultant of creation is tagharor al-mahiyah (the subsistence of quiddity) and not its existence; and fifth, there are two non-equivalent simple-if questions, real (the question of subsistence) and commonly accepted (the question of existence). In this paper, the main question is how Mirdamad’s multidimensional theory about existence, subsistence, creation, and quiddity can be sustained coherently. We will show that the whole picture Mirdamad draws cannot be maintained coherently. A qualification will be proposed according to which in the language of metaphysics, there is nothing but creation and quiddity.
