The Difference Between the Names of Allah and His Attributes
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Abu Sa'id from Jazan says: How can a Muslim distinguish between the names of Allah and His attributes? Is the chapter on attributes broader than the chapter on names?
Answer:
Yes, the attributes are divided into attributes of essence and attributes of action; these are the attributes. As for the names, they are not divided; rather, all of His names are beautiful (Glorified and Exalted is He), and they are the names mentioned in the Book and the Sunnah by which Allah named Himself or by which His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) named Him. Yes.
