(Defining Zandaqah, mentioning its basis, and that they built their Zandaqah upon the denial of the divine attributes) And likewise, the Zandaqah of the people is based on the denial of the attributes, as the people of knowledge testify.

The Shaykh : He says:
"And likewise, the Zandaqah of the people is based on the denial of the attributes, as the people of knowledge testify"
This Zandaqah, which is a departure from Islam, is based on the denial of the attributes; denying Allah (Mighty and Majestic) of His descriptions and actions. This is the basis of Zandaqah. For this reason, he said:
"And by Allah, there is no Zandaqah on earth that has appeared *** except from the denial and rejection
And by Allah, there is no Zandaqah on earth that has appeared *** from the side of affirmation and the Qur'an"
This section includes both an affirmation and a negation: it affirms that Zandaqah has appeared from the denial of the attributes, and it negates that Zandaqah has appeared from the side of affirmation and the Qur'an.
