And so he knows his Lord and His attributes *** likewise without likeness or deficiency (Allah’s clarification in His Book of His attributes, that they are complete in beauty, and that they are without likening Him to creation)
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : He says:
"And so he knows his Lord and His attributes *** likewise without likeness or deficiency"
This is not a repetition of the previous verse, but here it is a qualification: he knows Him by His attributes "without likeness or deficiency". "Without likeness" means that the created things do not resemble Him, and He does not resemble the created things, and there is no deficiency. Deficiency is inherent in humans, but Allah (Mighty and Majestic) is free from it.
