Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
We read in the books of theology that Allah has an attribute of essence and an attribute of establishment.
Answer:
Establishment? No, there is no attribute of establishment; there is an attribute of essence and an attribute of action. An attribute of essence is like the hand and the face, the foot and the leg; these are attributes of essence. An attribute of action is like creation, provision, giving life, causing death, and rising above the Throne; these are attributes of action. Speech is also an attribute of action. Attributes of essence are like the face, the hands, knowledge, power, will, and being above; all of these are attributes of essence. Attributes of essence are divided into two categories: attributes of meaning and attributes of reality. Yes.
