That a cause must precede its effect 'in existence' is explicitly stated by Ibn Sina in the Metaphysics of his Shifa': Thus, the existence of every effect is necessary in conjunction with the existence of its cause, while the existence of its cause necessitates the existence of the effect from it (wujudu kulli ma'lul wajib ma'a wujudi 'illatihi, wa wujud 'illatihi wajib 'anhu wujud al-ma'lul).
The Sharia divides the actions of people into five categories: wajib (obligatory), mandub (recommended), mubah (permissible), makruh (reprehensible), and haram (prohibited).
A major group of ancient philosophers (al-hukama) say that time is a sempiternal, necessarily self-subsistent substance jawhar azali wajib al-wujud li dhatihi) which has no essential nor existential connection with either the celestial sphere or with motion.
