The Specificity of the Face in Its Permanence and the Permanence of the Other Attributes of Allah

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, you said that the verse in the statement of Allah the Exalted

The Shaykh:
And.

The questioner:
or a believer.

The Shaykh:
is not what is written.

The questioner:
with it, and someone might say, or a questioner might ask, that if it was not intended to refer to the Essence, then the annihilation of other attributes of Allah, such as the Hand and the Foot, and others, would be implied. Please clarify this for us.

The Shaykh:
It is not permissible to say this regarding Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He. Allah remains with His attributes, Glorified and Exalted is He, but He specified the Face and singled it out here, and we are speaking about the Face. As for the other attributes, there is no doubt that they remain, because Allah, Mighty and Majestic, is First without a beginning and Last without an end, with His names and attributes, Glorified and Exalted is He. So no one comes to mind with this except a fool or one who is misguided.
Either a fool who does not understand, or one who is misguided and wants to mislead people. Yes. And this person says that only the Face of Allah remains, while the rest of His Essence is annihilated. Far is Allah from that. Who says this? I do not think even a person of little knowledge would say this. Yes.
