Second: That he makes them indicative of attributes that resemble the attributes of the created beings, as the people of likening Allah to creation did

The Shaykh : The second form of deviation "is that he makes them indicative of attributes that resemble the attributes of the created beings, as the people of likening Allah to creation did". Yes, among those who claim to be Muslim and face the qiblah, there are those who say that the names of Allah are established, but the attributes established from them are similar to the attributes of the created beings. These are the people of comparing Allah to creation who made a partner with Allah. We say this because likening Allah to creation is a form of deviation, as likening Allah to creation is a false meaning that the texts cannot indicate; rather, they indicate its falsity. So making them indicative of it is a deviation from what is required of them. So, are those who established the names of Allah with comparing Allah to creation deviants or not deviants? They are deviants. Why? Because they made them indicative of a false meaning, which is comparing Allah to creation. Or, if you wish, say likening Allah to creation, as the author expressed it. "Third: That he names Allah the Exalted with what He has not named Himself with, such as the Christians naming Him 'the Father' and the philosophers naming Him 'the Active Cause'". This is also deviation: to name Allah with something He has not named Himself with, especially if it is false. For example, the Christians name Him what? The Father. This is deviation, because it is obligatory to restrict the names of Allah to what the texts have brought.
