The Ruling on Denying Any of the Names or Attributes of Allah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh Salih, a questioner says: What is the ruling on one who denies any of the names of Allah or the attributes?
Answer:
One who denies any of the names of Allah or the attributes is lying about what came in the Qur'an and the Sunnah regarding the affirmation of the names and attributes for Allah (Mighty and Majestic). Allah the Exalted said:[Al-A'raf 7:180] [Al-Isra 17:110] And every one of His names indicates one of His attributes. Thus, al-Sami' (the All-Hearing) indicates hearing, al-Basir (the All-Seeing) indicates sight, and al-'Alim (the All-Knowing) indicates knowledge, and so on. Yes.
Honorable Shaykh Salih, a questioner says: What is the ruling on one who denies any of the names of Allah or the attributes?
Answer:
One who denies any of the names of Allah or the attributes is lying about what came in the Qur'an and the Sunnah regarding the affirmation of the names and attributes for Allah (Mighty and Majestic). Allah the Exalted said:
And to Allah belong the best names, so invoke Him by them.
وَلِلَّهِ الْأَسْمَاءُ الْحُسْنَىٰ فَادْعُوهُ بِهَاSay, "Call upon Allah or call upon the Most Merciful. Whichever [name] you call - to Him belong the best names."
قُلِ ادْعُوا اللَّهَ أَوِ ادْعُوا الرَّحْمَٰنَ أَيًّا مَّا تَدْعُوا فَلَهُ الْأَسْمَاءُ الْحُسْنَىٰ
