Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Another questioner says: What is the position of the people of the Sunnah and the community regarding the names of Allah the Exalted and His attributes?
Answer:
They affirm them for Allah (Mighty and Majestic), and they know their meanings, but they do not know their modality. They leave the modality to Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). However, they believe in them in both wording and meaning as they came in the Book and the Sunnah. They affirm them with affirmation without likening Allah to creation, and they purify Him from what invalidates and diminishes Him with purification without denial of the divine attributes. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
