And the second is their attribution to riddles, *** confusion, concealment, and secrecy (the result of their denial of the texts from the Book and the Sunnah and their figurative interpretation of them)

The Shaykh :
"And the second is their attribution to riddles, *** confusion, concealment, and secrecy"
Because when they deny the texts of their intended meaning, the texts become, in their apparent sense, confusion and riddles, and do not point to guidance in their apparent sense; rather, they point to misguidance, in their claim, because they only interpreted them figuratively on the assumption that they necessitate likening Allah to creation, so they interpreted them for this reason.
