The Ruling on One Who Denies Any of the Names or Attributes of Allah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
And He has made easy for you, may Allah improve your knowledge, the disbelief of one who denies any of the names of Allah or His Messenger.
Answer:
The operative cause is clear, and it is that he did not believe in Allah with the required faith. The required faith in Allah is to believe in Allah, His names, and His attributes. So if he denies the names and attributes, he has not believed in Allah (Mighty and Majestic) with the required faith. And whoever does not believe in Allah with the required faith is a disbeliever. Belief in Allah necessitates belief in His names and attributes, His lordship, and His divinity; it necessitates this. In *al-'Aqidah al-Wasitiyyah*, as you know, Shaykh Taqi al-Din (may Allah have mercy on him) says: “And included in belief in Allah is belief in His names and attributes.” This is included in belief in Allah. Yes.
