The questioner:
May Allah widen the path for Shaykh Abu 'Abdullah. I agree with this phrase from the exhortations regarding the selection that the similarity in names is established, but not in the attributes.
The Shaykh:
Yes.
The questioner:
Indeed, things are such a group; time is not obligatory except through healing.
The Shaykh:
Correct, not correct. The similarity in names and meanings does not necessitate similarity in modality. The known thing. So. The names of Allah and His attributes are similar to, or share in common with, the names and attributes of the created beings, and the meaning is also shared, but the modality and the reality are different. Yes.
