The Shaykh : The garbage of ideas, they called them rational certainties.
"That negates the apparent meanings of texts" means it negates the apparent meaning. This is why they say: The apparent meaning of the texts regarding the attributes is not intended.
This is well known among them; they say the apparent meaning of the texts regarding the attributes is not intended. Every text regarding the attributes, its apparent meaning is not intended. The truth is that this statement is an error, an error in any case. The way to address this is to say to them: What do you mean by the apparent? Do you mean by the apparent the meanings that appear from the texts that are befitting of Allah? If they say: Yes, what do we say? Well, you erred in saying it is not intended. Look, now, the apparent meaning of the texts regarding the attributes is not intended. This sentence has a beginning and an end. What is its beginning? The apparent meaning of the texts. What is its end? Not intended. Good. First, let us ask them: What do you mean by the apparent, which is the beginning of the sentence? If they say: We mean by the apparent likening. Likening means we want to say that likening is not intended. We say: You were correct in saying it is not intended, but you erred in saying that this is the apparent meaning of the texts. Is that clear, everyone? Good. If they say, if they mean by the apparent the meanings that appear from the texts that are befitting of Allah, if they say this is the apparent meaning of the texts, meaning the apparent meaning of the texts is that Allah has a hand that does not resemble the hands of the created beings, what do we say to them? We say: You were correct in saying that this is the apparent, but you erred in saying it is not intended. So this statement is an error under any consideration. Is that clear, everyone, or not clear? Good.
