The ruling on the statement: "The verses of attributes are clear in their meaning and ambiguous in their reality"

Question:
What is the validity of the statement that the verses of attributes are clear in their meaning and ambiguous in their reality?
Answer:
Yes. Yes, the verses of attributes are clear in their meanings and implications, but they are ambiguous in their modality and reality. The reality is known only to Allah, and the modality is known only to Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). We affirm for Allah hearing, but the modality of hearing is known only to Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). We affirm for Allah sight, but the modality of sight is known only to Allah; it is not like the sight of the created and the hearing of the created, so we do not compare this with that. Each has attributes that befit it: the created has attributes that befit it, and the Creator has attributes that befit Him.
