Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh :"The third: It is said to him: We observe among the attributes of created things attributes that agree in their names, but differ in their modality". Correct. We observe among the attributes of created things attributes that agree in their names, but they differ in their reality or in their modality.
"So the hand of a human is not like the hand of an animal" So it is not, yes, "So the hand of a human is not like the hand of another animal", nor is the face of a human like the face of another animal. So created things agree in the attribute but differ in the modality.
"If it is permissible for the modality to differ in the attributes of created things while they agree in name, then the difference between the attributes of the Creator and the created is even more so. Indeed, the difference between the attributes of the Creator and the created is obligatory, as mentioned previously".
With this, the one who likens Allah to creation is refuted. We have answered him and refuted him with three aspects. And, if Allah wills, the discussion of this and what preceded it will be tomorrow.
