Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is Allah the Exalted described with the attribute of "something"? Based on His saying, the Exalted
Answer:
He informs that He is something. But "the thing" is not called by that name, or that "the thing" is among His names. But He is informed of as such. The chapter of information is broader than the chapter of naming. So you inform about Allah that He is something. And you do not say "the thing." O the thing. O Allah, or O thing, no, this is not permissible, this is not among the names of Allah. Yes.
