The student’s reading from the author’s statement: “And the people of the Sunnah argued against the people of figurative interpretation using this same argument, so that they would affirm the establishment of the attributes and apply their texts according to their true meaning, saying to the people of figurative interpretation: We know by necessity that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) came with the affirmation of the attributes for Allah, and we have known the invalidity of the doubt that prevents this, so it is necessary to affirm their establishment. This is a valid compulsion and a standing argument from which the people of figurative interpretation have no escape, for whoever prevents speech from being taken away from its true meaning in the texts of the Hereafter must prevent it in the texts of the attributes, which are greater and more affirmed in the divine books than the affirmation of the Hereafter. If he does not do so, his contradiction and the invalidity of his intellect become apparent.”
