Affirming the attribute of the Face for Allah (Mighty and Majestic)

The Shaykh : These are verses in the Noble Qur'an, and a ruling is established by a single report from Allah (Mighty and Majestic) or from the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), so how much more so when it is repeated? From this, we affirm the attribute of the Face of Allah; affirming the Face as an attribute for Allah (Mighty and Majestic). Can this Face be similar to the faces of the created beings? No, because of the saying of Allah the Exalted: And because it is agreed upon by people of intellect that if two things share a name, it does not necessitate that the named things are identical. That is, sharing a name does not necessitate the identity of the named things. This is a known matter, whether known or not; sharing a name does not necessitate the identity of the named things. For we know that the horse has a face and the donkey has a face. Can this be like that? According to reality, no. But if Allah willed, it could be the same. So, a useful rule regarding names and attributes: sharing a name does not necessitate what? The identity of the named things. So we say that Allah has a Face that befits His Majesty and does not resemble the faces of the created beings. Now, perhaps we will limit ourselves to this so that we can get to the questions before the sun rises. Yes.

The questioner : In the name of Allah, and all praise is for Allah, and may peace and blessings be upon the best of Allah's creation, our master Muhammad, and upon his family and his Companions.
