The Difference Between a Name and an Attribute in the Case of Allah

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: What is the difference between a name and an attribute in the case of Allah the Exalted?

Answer:
A name is that by which He (Glorified and Exalted is He) is invoked and that which indicates His essence (Glorified and Exalted is He). As for the attribute, it is the content of that name, its meaning and what it indicates. So the name is the original, and the attribute is a branch derived from it.
