But if we say He has a face as *** in the text, or if we say likewise He has two hands (The People of the Sunnah’s Affirmation of the Attribute of Face for Allah and the Attribute of Hands, with Evidence)
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : He says:
"But if we say He has a face as *** in the text, or if we say likewise He has two hands"
That is, they deny that Allah has a face and say: The meaning of "face" is the reward. They say: The reward of your Lord. This is explicit in that what remains is the face of Allah (Mighty and Majestic). For this reason, He said: [Ar-Rahman 55:27] And He said: [Ar-Rahman 55:78] So there is a difference: the name is not described with majesty; the one described with majesty is the Lord. The face is described with majesty. And if the name of Allah is not described with majesty, what can be said about the reward? The reward cannot be described with majesty.
And the Sunnah has come regarding this as well. Yes.
Likewise, it is explicit in the Qur'an.[Al-Ma'idah 5:64] Yes.
"But if we say He has a face as *** in the text, or if we say likewise He has two hands"
That is, they deny that Allah has a face and say: The meaning of "face" is the reward.
And the Face of your Lord will remain
ويبقى وجه ربكAnd there will remain the Face of your Lord, Owner of Majesty and Honor.
ويبقى وجه ربك ذو الجلال والإكرامBlessed is the name of your Lord, Owner of Majesty
تبارك اسم ربك ذي الجلالAnd the Sunnah has come regarding this as well.
I seek refuge in Your Face, by which the darknesses became bright and the affairs of this world and the Hereafter were set right
أعوذ بنور وجهك الذي أشرقت له الظلمات وصلح عليها أمر الدنيا والآخرةLikewise, it is explicit in the Qur'an.
