The Difference Between the Names of Allah and His Attributes
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Shaykh. He asks: How do I distinguish between the Name and the Attribute of Allah (Blessed and Exalted is He)?
Answer:
The Name is what He named Himself with, such as al-Sami' (the All-Hearing), al-Basir (the All-Seeing), al-Qadir (the All-Powerful), and al-Karim (the Most Generous). The Attribute is derived from the Name: al-Sami' indicates hearing, al-Basir indicates sight, and al-Rahim indicates mercy, and so on. Yes.
