But the man of denial of attributes has nothing *** but negation; where is negation in faith? (Explanation: The one who denies attributes does not describe Allah except by negation, and negation is non-existence)

The Shaykh : And for this reason he said:
"But the man of denial of attributes has nothing *** but negation; where is negation in faith?"
The one who denies attributes does not describe Allah except by negation; he does not describe Him by affirmation. So where is negation in faith? There is no faith for one who negates, because negation is non-existence, and non-existence is nothing. If he says: "Allah does not hear, does not see, has no Face, has no Eyes," and he continues to negate the attributes, his matter leads to non-existence. He said:
