Question:
Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: Do the names and attributes of Allah the Exalted resemble the names and attributes of created beings in wording and meaning, without resembling them in modality or reality?
Answer:
Yes, the wording and meaning are shared; they call this a shared term. This is called a shared term with a common meaning, and a shared term with a graded meaning. This is a matter of sharing only, sharing in wording and meaning without sharing in reality. Yes.
