Every Name of Allah contains an Attribute of Him, Al-Aleem (All-Knowing) denotes Knowledge, al-Hakeem (the All-Wise) denotes Wisdom, as-Samee al-Baseer (All-Seeing, All-Hearing) denotes Sight and Hearing. Similarly, all Names denote an Attribute from the Attributes of Allah. Allah says, *'Say, 'He is Allah, (the) One. Allah-us-Samad (The Self-Sufficient Master, Whom all creatures need). He begets not, nor was He begotten; And there is none co-equal or comparable unto Him.'* [Soorah al-Ikhlas (112): 1-4].

From Anas (radhi allahu anhu), 'One of the Ansaar used to lead the Salaat in Masjid al-Quba. Every time he recited a verse, he would begin with, *'Say, He is Allah, the One and Only…'* [Soorah al-Ikhlas] until its end, and then recited another Soorah with it, and he would do this in every Rak'ah. The people spoke to him concerning this, _'You begin with this Soorah and then you do not regard it enough until you recited another one. You should either recite it (only) or leave it and recite another one.'_ He said, _'I will not leave it, if you do not like it, I shall leave you.'_

They knew he was one of the best, and they did not like to be led by anyone else, so when the Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wa-sallam) came to them, they informed him. He (sallallahu alaihi wa-sallam) said, _*'O so and so, what stops you from doing what people ask you to? What makes you recite this Soorah in every Rak'ah?'*_ He said, _'I love this Soorah.'_ He (sallallahu alaihi wa-sallam) said, _*'Your love for it will enter you into Paradise.'*_ [Saheeh al-Bukharee].

And Aishah (radhi allahu anha) narrated that the Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wa-sallam) sent a man to a group of people and he used to recite to his companions during the Salaat. He would end with, *'Say, He is Allah, the One and Only.'* So, when they returned, they mentioned this to the Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wa-sallam) so he said, _*'Ask him why he does such a thing.'*_ So they asked him and he said, _'Because it is an Attribute of the Most Merciful and I love to recite it.'_ So, the Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) said, _*'Inform him that Allah, the Most High, loves him.'_* Thus, Soorah Ikhlas comprises Attributes of Allah.

Allah has informed us that He has a Face, He said, *'And the Face of your Lord - full of Majesty and Honor - will abide forever.'* [Soorah ar-Rahman (55): 27]
And that He has two Hands, '(Allah) said, *'O Iblees (Shaytan)! What prevents you from prostrating yourself to one whom I have created with Both My Hands?'* [Soorah Saad (38): 75] *'Nay, both His Hands are widely outstretched.'* [Soorah al-Maida (5): 64]
Allah becomes Pleased, Loves, gets Angry, Displeased as well as other Attributes of Allah which He has described Himself with or His Messenger has described Him with.

▪️ *Intellectual Proofs for affirming the Names and Attributes of Allah, which the Sharee'ah has stated are:*

*▫️.* This Magnificent creation with their different forms and regulations and their functioning correctly to achieve the intended purpose. This signifies the Might of Allah, His Power, Knowledge, Wisdom, and Will.

*▫️.* Kindness, beneficence, removal of harm and grief all point towards Mercy, Generosity and Bounteousness (of Allah).
___*PAGE 7*___                               ✍️..

*▫️.* Punishment and recompense of the sinful points out the Anger of Allah and His Hatred for them.

*▫️.* Honoring the obedient slave and rewarding them indicates the Pleasure of Allah and His Love for them.
___*PAGE 8*___.                       ✍️...

*▪️The Manhaj (way) of the Ahlus-Sunnah wal-Jama'ah from the Salafus-Salih and those who followed them is to affirm the Names and Attributes of Allah as they have been mentioned in the Book and the Sunnah, and their Manhaj is built on the following principles:*
➖➖➖
*▫️.* They approve the Names and Attributes of Allah as it has been mentioned in the Book and the Sunnah with their apparent meaning indicated by the words and they do not interpret it contrary to its apparent meaning nor change its words or what they indicate.
___*PAGE 9*___.                                   ✍️...

*▫️.* They negate any resemblance between the Attributes of Allah and the creation, Allah says, *'There is nothing like unto Him, and He is the All-Hearer, the All-Seer.'* [Soorah ash-Shuraa (42): 11]

*▫️* They do not exceed what has been mentioned in the Qur'aan and the Sunnah in affirming the Names and Attributes of Allah. So, what Allah and His Messenger have affirmed, they affirm it and what Allah and His Messenger have denied, they deny it and matters, in which Allah and His Messenger are silent, they are silent about it.
___*PAGE 10*____.                              ✍️...

*▫️.* They believe that the texts mentioning the Names and Attributes of Allah are Muhkam, whose meaning and explanation is understood, and they are not Mutashabih (unclear). So, they do not hold back it's meaning, as they have been accused of, by those who lie against them, or those who do not know their Manhaj from the contemporary writers.

*▫️.* They do not speak about how the Attributes of Allah are and do not even research concerning it.
