Buktinya, beliau mengarang beberapa kitab yang membicarakan berkenaan dengan ilmu Tauhid seperti Taqrīb al-Ikhwān fī Taʿallum ʿAqā’id al-Īmān, Asās al-ʿItiqād dan sebagainya. Oleh yang demikian, makalah ini memfokuskan perbahasan tauhid menerusi sifat qidam Allah SWT di samping mengemukakan metodologi al-qiyās al-iqtirānī dalam menghuraikan dalil tafṣīlī terhadap perbahasan sifat tersebut. Kajian berbentuk kualitatif ini menggunakan kaedah dokumentasi dan analisis kandungan menerusi teks Taqrīb al-Ikhwān karya ‘Abd al-Qādir Wangah serta rujukan ilmu mantik seperti Īḍāḥ al-Mubham, Mughni al-Ṭullāb dan sebagainya.

Seterusnya, makalah ini akan membincangkan berkenaan metodologi al-qiyās al-iqtirānī secara khusus menurut para ulama mantik dan aplikasinya pada menghuraikan dalil qidam dan baqā’ dalam Taqrīb al-Ikhwān. Hasilnya, penggunaan al-qiyas al-iqtirānī ini diaplikasikan oleh ʿAbd al-Qādir Wangah secara tidak langsung menerusi dua konteks ayat yang muttaṣilah bukannya secara ḥamliyyah kedua-duanya atau munfaṣilah kedua-duanya atau satu ḥamliyyah dan satu lagi muttaṣilah atau ḥamliyyah munfaṣilah atau muttaṣilah munfaṣilah dalam menghuraikan burhān sifat qidam Allah SWT.
