The Shaykh : As far as I can see, I do not know about them. You see, his statement here is regarding the attributes, but they may differ from them in the names of faith, religion, and divine decree. They may differ, just as the Jahmiyyah and the Mu'tazilah agree in the chapter of attributes but differ in the chapter of the names of faith and religion, and in the chapter of divine decree, yes.
