The Difference Between Tamthil and Tashbih

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: I hope for clarification on the difference between tamthil and tashbih? Beep beep.
Answer:
There is no difference between them except that Allah denied likening Him to creation (Glorified and Exalted is He). So we express it using the wording that came in the Qur'an: "There is nothing like Him." As for tashbih, this is what was mentioned, and although its meaning is correct, it did not come in the text. So we express it with what came in the Qur'an: "There is nothing like Him."
