The student: How do we respond to those who say that the apparent meaning of the verses of attributes necessitates likening Allah to creation... even though His saying:

There is nothing like unto Him

ليس كمثله شيء

[Ash-Shuraa 42:11]

prevents that?

The Shaykh : Say:

Our Lord, let not our hearts deviate after You have guided us

ربنا لا تزغ قلوبنا بعد إذ هديتنا

[Ali 'Imran 3:8]
