Question:
I ask Allah to do you good. Your Eminence, father, the questioner asks: What is the difference between intrinsic attributes, active attributes, and voluntary attributes?
Answer:
Voluntary attributes are active attributes. Intrinsic attributes are those that never cease to be with Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He), such as hearing, sight, knowledge, will, and power. As for active attributes, they are those He does when He wills (Glorified is He), such as descending and rising above the Throne. These are active attributes. Creation and providing sustenance are active attributes that He does when He wills. Yes.
