The Difference Between the Belief of the Ta'tilah and the Belief of the Mushrikin Regarding the Attributes of Allah

Question : Do you consider these two to be equal? By Allah, they are not equal in my view.

Answer : This mushrik (one who associates partners with Allah), the mushrik today, acknowledges the greatness of Allah, His dominion, and His kingship, but he says that he needs intercessors; he does not reach the Sovereign except through the intercessors. He humbles himself before these intercessors, bowing to them, prostrating to them, slaughtering animals for them, and making vows to them. So look: which is more severe, the mushrik who is a ta'til (denier of the divine attributes) who does not attribute to Allah any of the attributes of perfection at all, and says that He is not described except by negation, meaning that He has not affirmed anything, and has not affirmed his Lord?
