The Shaykh : He said:
"The one who denies the attributes is a denier of the Essence or *** of its perfection. These are two forms of denial"
The student: ... of its perfection.
The Shaykh :"*** of its perfection. These are two forms of denial"
The one who denies the attributes is a denier of the Essence of Allah, or a denier of its perfection, because among those who deny the attributes are those who deny the Essence of Allah, such as those who say: Allah is not described as existing nor as non-existent, or a denier of its perfection, such as those who believe in Allah but do not believe in His attributes.
"This is two forms of denial
containing a disparagement of the very divinity *** how much deficiency is there in that disparagement "
Therefore, denial of the attributes is a defect in the very divinity, a defect in the very Essence of Allah (Mighty and Majestic). Those who deny Allah and say: He is not inside the world nor outside it, not connected nor disconnected, and the like, and those who say: Allah has no action, no descent, no rising above the Throne, and the like, all of them diminish Allah (Mighty and Majestic).
