Did Allah deny likeness only, and not comparison?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: Is it true that some scholars deny that Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) denied comparison (tashbih), and that He only denied likeness (tamthil), because comparison is inherent in the original attribute?
Answer:
This statement has no meaning. Comparison (tashbih) and likeness (tamthil) are one and the same; there is no difference between them. Comparison is likeness, and likeness is comparison; there is no distinction between the two. Yes.
