The ruling on attributing life to Allah the Exalted

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, does Allah Glorified and Exalted is He look with His eyes, and does He descend with His self, or does He not?

Answer:
He descends with His self, and He walks with His self, and He comes with His self, Glorified and Exalted is He. Yes. There is no doubt about this. Or does His command come, or does His command descend, as the people of innovation say? No. As for the meaning that He brings to life by His self, this question has no beginning. This question has no... Allah, Exalted and Majestic is He, is Alive. He did not say "He brings to life," He said "He is Alive." May Allah grant you success. Life is eternal, Glorified and Exalted is He; it has no beginning. To say "He brings to life" means it has a beginning. Yes.
