The philosophical God is explained by philosophical concepts and terms such as ‘being, cause’, ‘pure Act’ that in addition to them, in Uthulujiyya have also spoken of ‘pure One’, ‘light’ and ‘unthinking.’ In Al-Kindi, in addition to the first two terms, ‘agency’ and ‘Truth’ have been spoken of for the concept of God. The present issue is a comparative study of the conceptualization of God with Al-Kindi and Uthulujiyya to determine the degree of Al-Kindi's independence from Uthulujiyya or to determine the degree of similarity between Al-Kindi`s thought and the text of Uthulujiyya in the conceptualization of God. Therefore, there are questions raised, about how approach these common terms, semantically are in Uthulujiyya and Al-Kind’s thought? And how adaptable that are their application for Uthulujiyya and Al-Kindi? Can Al- Kindi's thought and the book of Uthulujiyya about the concept of God be reconciled? In this article, we examine the concepts in both and analyze them, we find the concept of God in Uthulujiyya and Al-Kindi in concepts such as being, cause and One, Close to each other but in Concept of Aysa and Moeeis are different.
