Dividing the attributes of Allah into essential and active
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
And he stated that the Qur'an is to be interpreted. What do you say about the human assessment of dividing them into essential and poetic, and essential poetic, with examples? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
Essential and active; I do not know this. But dividing them into essential attributes, such as the Face, the Hands, the Fingers, and the Feet, as mentioned in the hadith, these are essential. And the Self, as you heard. As for the active ones, they are like descending, coming, rising above the Throne, creating, providing sustenance, giving life, and causing death; these are active. As for "essential active," I do not know anything of this. (peace and blessings be upon him). Perhaps this is one of the forced interpretations that some modern people create. Yes.
