Question:
The Shaykh (may Allah have mercy on him) has presented several correct rules in the chapter on the attributes of Allah (Mighty and Majestic). They are that every attribute related to the will is an action attribute.
Answer:
No, that is correct. I said that if it is an action of the will, it is an action He performs whenever He wills, (Glorified and Exalted is He). As for the Face, the Face, and the Hand, these are intrinsic attributes. They are not related to the will; they are intrinsic. Knowledge, will, and power are intrinsic attributes, and being above is an intrinsic attribute. As for rising above the Throne, it is an action attribute. Victory is an action attribute, creation is an action attribute. Yes.
