Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Shaykh Salih, what is the methodology of the people of the Sunnah and the community regarding the Face of Allah?

Answer:
We affirm it as it came, affirming it as it came. Glorified and Exalted is He, that Allah has a Face that does not resemble the faces, and He has attributes that do not resemble the attributes. Even if their names exist in the created beings, there is no resemblance between the attributes of the Creator and the attributes of the created beings except in the wording only. Or in the wording and the meaning, but as for the reality and the modality, no one knows them except Allah, Glorified is He. They are not measured by or likened to the attributes of the created beings. Yes.
