About Allah’s names and attributes

 Tlahrif (distortion) is to alter the speech with addition or

subtraction, or to negate the attributes, either by outright

negation or improper interpretation of the meaning.

Takyif (saying how the names and attributes are): They

(Ahlus Sunnah wal Jamã'ah) do not say He rose over the

Throne like this or He descends like this, or He becomes

angry like this. They do not say how His names and attri-

butes are.

Tamthil (likeness or resemblance): they do not say His

anger is like this, or He ascended like this, or His hearing

is like this, or His sight is like this.

Ayah Kursi

Alläh! None has the right to be worshipped

but He, the Ever-Living, the One Who sustains

and protects all that exists. Neither slumber nor

sleep overtake Him. To Him belongs whatever

is in the heavens and whatever is on earth.

Who is he that can intercede with Him except

with His permission? He knows what happens

to them (His creatures) in this world, and what

will happen to them in the Hereafter. And they

will never compass anything of His Knowledge

except that which He wills. His Kursi extends

over the heavens and the earth, and He feels no

fatigue in guarding and preserving them. And

He is the Most High, the Most Great.

[Surah al-Bagarah 2:255]
