The Shaykh :"And the scholars followed this standard after them. If the 'how' is not rationally comprehensible and the Shari'ah has not mentioned it, then both rational and scriptural evidence are negated regarding it, so it is obligatory to refrain from it", and praise be to Allah, meaning we are safe, my brothers. As for the unseen matters, as long as we are safe, praise be to Allah. We are safe. As for those who are said to want to delve deep and verify the creed, you will find one asking, "How many fingers does Allah have?" Is this question permissible or not permissible? It is not permissible. Be silent about what the Book and the Sunnah have been silent about. How many fingers does He have? It is not permissible, it is not permissible. Be silent regarding what came in the Book and the Sunnah, and you will be in goodness and safety. Do not delve deep and drown. Follow the path of the Salaf (may Allah have mercy on them) in this and other matters. "So beware, beware of asking how an attribute is or attempting to do so, for if you do, you will fall into deserts from which you cannot escape. And if Satan throws it into your heart, know that it is one of his whispers, so take refuge in your Lord, for He is your refuge, and do what He has commanded you, for He is your physician. Allah the Exalted said: [Fussilat 41:36]" Praise be to Allah. Allah mentioned the disease and the cure. What is the expected disease? That Satan tries to stir you up with an evil suggestion, whether in creed, in sins, or in morals. And know that Satan does not command anything but obscenity; he never commands good, but only commands evil. So whenever you are about to do evil, seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Satan. Use this medicine, for it is an effective medicine. Yes.
