Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: What is the difference between the actual attributes and the descriptive attributes?
Answer:
The descriptive attributes are those established by hearing, meaning by the Qur'an and the Sunnah; these are the descriptive ones. This is in contrast to the rational attributes, according to their claim. This is the terminology of the theologians (mutakallimun); they speak of the evidence of hearing and the evidence of reason. Yes, that is their intent. By descriptive, they mean those established by hearing, meaning by revelation.
