Comparing the shirk of likening Allah to creation and the shirk of denying the divine attributes

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, which is the greater shirk: the shirk of likening Allah to creation or the shirk of denying the divine attributes?

Answer:
If one is uncertain, denying the divine attributes is more severe, because denying the divine attributes is a denial of the Creator in the first place, whereas likening Allah to creation acknowledges the Creator but likens Him to others. Yes.
