The document discusses the Isma'ili answer to worshipping an unknowable, Neoplatonic God. It states that Abu Ya'qub as-Sijistani, an influential early Isma'ili theologian-philosopher, developed a unique conception of and orientation towards worshipping such a God. As-Sijistani was heavily influenced by Neoplatonism, particularly Plotinus' concept of an absolute, transcendent God beyond both knowledge and being. However, as-Sijistani's thinking was not bound entirely to Neoplatonism. His works provide insight into the Isma'ili approach to worshipping an unknown divine.
