The Difference Between the Name and the Attribute of Allah the Exalted
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. There is also a difference between the hearing of Allah and His dwelling.
Answer:
The difference is clear. The Name is by which Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) is called and invoked,[Al-A'raf 7:180]. It is the Name, as the grammarians say, for a Name is a sign for the named thing. It is a proper noun that identifies the named thing; it is called by it and known by it. The Attribute is subordinate to the Name. The original is the Name, and the Attribute is attached to it. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah greet you.
May Allah reward you. There is also a difference between the hearing of Allah and His dwelling.
Answer:
The difference is clear. The Name is by which Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) is called and invoked,
And to Allah belong the best names, so invoke Him by them.

May Allah greet you.
