The Refutation of Those Who Interpret the Attributes as Intending Retribution
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Say: The scale of innovations is tipped. They believe in the sermons, and it was decreed as the intention of retribution and the intention of bestowing blessings. The point is that He has an intention, so likewise, what he intends by retribution and by bestowing blessings. Does this not mean he has fallen into what he submitted to?
Answer:
We said to them: They say "the intention of such-and-such," meaning they affirm the intention. The created being has an intention with him, so they have fallen into what they established. Yes.
