The Difference Between Tamthil and Tashbih
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: I hope for clarification on the difference between tamthil (comparing Allah to creation) and tashbih (likening Allah to creation). There is no difference between them except that Allah negated tamthil regarding Himself, Glorified and Exalted is He.
Answer:
So one uses the wording found in the Qur'an: "There is nothing like Him." As for tashbih, this is what was not reported, and although its meaning is correct, it was not reported. We express it using what came in the Qur'an: "There is nothing like Him." Yes.
