Explaining the severity of interpreting the verses of attributes, and that the apparent meaning is the true meaning and does not count as interpretation.

The Shaykh : However, what is appropriate to mention on this occasion is that those who interpret the other verses, some of which were previously mentioned, such as the verse of rising above the Throne, the Hand, and the like, take such interpretation or exegesis as an argument for themselves. They say: "Just as you interpreted this verse, we also interpreted those verses. What is the difference between us and you?!"
Our answer to that is to say, as we have said before: This is not interpretation, just as the exegesis of is not interpretation, but rather it is the true meaning of the entirety of this verse. Likewise, this verse and others like it that mention presence are a presence of knowledge, as indicated by the context and the preceding text. This is not interpretation, nor is it a case of taking the phrase away from its true meaning; rather, this meaning is the true meaning. The Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah cites as an example for such a verse and the verse: and the like, the old Arabic idiom or phrase, which is that one of them would say: "I traveled with the moon", "I traveled with the sun". He only means that when he traveled, the moon was with him by its light, not that the moon was beside him by its essence. This is how the Arabic style conveys this meaning, and this is not interpretation, because no one understands from this Arabic expression "I traveled with the moon" that the moon was with him by its essence. Likewise, the previous verse: does not mean with you by His essence. Allah (Blessed and Exalted is He) rose above the Throne .
