Al-Ash'ari's Affirmation of the Attribute of the Face for Allah, Contrary to the Ash'ari School

Machine translationRead the Arabic original

The Shaykh : As for his saying: "And the Face *** of the Lord of the Throne, the Possessor of Sovereignty"
Al-Ash'ari (may Allah have mercy on him) also believes that Allah has a Face. Allah the Exalted said:

And there will remain the Face of your Lord, Owner of Majesty and Honor.

ويبقى وجه ربك ذو الجلال والإكرام

[Ar-Rahman 55:27]

, but as for the followers of Al-Ash'ari, who are the Ash'ari school, they do not believe in the Face of Allah; they distort it.
