The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner asks: Is this statement correct, namely that the similarity between the attributes of Allah and the attributes of His creation is limited to the agreement in the names only?
The Shaykh:
It is in the names and the meanings, but not in the realities. The names of Allah have a reality befitting Him, and the names of the created beings have a reality befitting them, but the word and the meaning are shared between the two. Yes.
The presenter:
Honorable Shaykh.
The Shaykh:
What they call mutawati (mutual agreement), they call it mutawati, yes.
