The Difference Between the Attributes and the Names of Allah

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. This brother Abu 'Abdullah says: How can I distinguish between the name and the attribute of Allah (Blessed and Exalted is He)?

Answer:
The attribute is derived from the name. Every name of Allah has an attribute derived from it. For example, from al-Rahman (The Most Merciful), the attribute of mercy is derived; from al-'Alim (The All-Knowing), the attribute of knowledge is derived; from al-Basir (The All-Seeing), the attribute of sight is derived, and so on. Every name of Allah has an attribute derived from it. Yes.
