Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, the scholars mentioned that what is attributed to Allah is divided into categories; to which category does the saying of Allah the Exalted (the Fire of Allah, the kindled) belong?
Answer:
No, it is divided into two, not into categories. What is attributed to Allah is divided into two: the attribution of an attribute to the one possessing it, such as the knowledge of Allah, the speech of Allah, the power of Allah, and the will of Allah; this is the attribution of an attribute to the one possessing it. And the hand of Allah and the face of Allah; this is the attribution of an attribute to the one possessing it. Or the attribution of a creation to its Creator, such as the house of Allah, the she-camel of Allah, the servant of Allah, and the Messenger of Allah. Yes.
