The reader: “Chapter: On mentioning another sect among them and explaining its invalidity
Therefore, their leader said to himself: *** A sect other than the one you see
These attributes, our intellects have indicated *** Their affirmation along with the apparent meaning of the Qur'an”
The Shaykh : Along with the apparent
The reader: “These attributes, our intellects have indicated *** Their affirmation along with the apparent meaning of the Qur'an
Therefore, we have protected them from figurative interpretation, so marvel *** O brother of verification and knowledge
How do the people admit that their intellects *** Have indicated likening Allah to creation by proof
It is said: Is there likening Allah to creation in the intellect? *** Or do we deny the intelligible, just as we deny deficiency?
If you say we deny it, then deny these *** Attributes and strip yourselves of the Qur'an
Or if you say we deny it in one attribute and *** Do not deny it in another attribute without proof
It is said: What is the criterion between them? *** And what is the proof? So bring forth now the criterion”.
Therefore, their leader said to himself: *** A sect other than the one you see
These attributes, our intellects have indicated *** Their affirmation along with the apparent meaning of the Qur'an”
The Shaykh : Along with the apparent
The reader: “These attributes, our intellects have indicated *** Their affirmation along with the apparent meaning of the Qur'an
Therefore, we have protected them from figurative interpretation, so marvel *** O brother of verification and knowledge

Or if you say we deny it in one attribute and *** Do not deny it in another attribute without proof
