article Three Important Principles in Names and Attributes

The following are three points that must be considered as principles in this topic:

[Firstly:] Affirming what Allah has affirmed for Himself or what His Messenger - صلى الله عليه وسلم – affirmed for Him, because the most knowledgeable to describe Allah is Allah Himself:

Are you more knowledgeable or Allah [Al Baqarah: 140]

Just as no one can describe Allah, who is more knowledgeable of Allah after Allah, than His Messenger - صلى الله عليه وسلم – whom Allah said in regards:

Nor does he speak of (his own) desire. It is only a Revelation revealed [An Najm: 3-4]

There is nothing like Him, and He is the All-Hearer, the All-Seer [Ash Shoorah: 11]

This Ayah consists of an exaltation of Allah as well as an affirmation [of His Attributes] as you can see.

[Thirdly:] Abstaining from trying to comprehend the reality of His Attributes, just as you can not comprehend the reality of His Existence [or Self], the Glorified, believing in His saying:

And they will never encompass anything of His Knowledge [Al Baqarah: 255]

Do you know of any who is similar to Him? [Maryam: 65]
