The Shaykh :"And if it does not exist independently, it is among the attributes of Allah and it is not a created thing" An example of this is "the knowledge of Allah". Allah the Exalted said: [Al-Baqarah 2:255] Is this created or not? It is not created. And He the Exalted said: [An-Nisa 4:166] Similarly, the power of Allah. Was the power of Allah mentioned as attributed to Allah?

The Shaykh :[Al-Fath 48:10] And [Al-Ma'idah 5:64] His eye "and the like. The face is undoubtedly of this type". For the face of Allah (Mighty and Majestic) is an attribute among His attributes, not separate from Him. The face does not exist independently; the face only exists in relation to what it is the face of, so it does not exist independently. He says, therefore, yes, "so its attribution to Allah is of the type of attributing an attribute to the one who possesses it". What do you say about His saying the Exalted: [Al-Hijr 15:29]?

The Shaykh : I mean, but is it a self-subsisting entity? Yes, because the soul is a self-subsisting entity; it is seized, shrouded, and tormented, so it is a self-subsisting entity and thus created.
