THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Al-Khamis. 4th day of RAJAB, 1444AH (Thursday 26th January. 2023). THE RIGHT WAY TO INTERPRET THE ATTRIBUTES OF ALLAH BismilLah. 

My apologies for the delay in sharing. I'm feeling sick that's why so please remember me and all sick brothers and sisters in your dua. 

As Muslims, it's important to understand that the correct belief should be based on what is proven in the Qur’an and Sunnah, as understood by the early generations (salaf) of this ummah, namely the Swahaabah, Taabi‘een and leading scholars. They unanimously agreed that the divine attributes mentioned in the Qur’an and Sunnah are to be affirmed without discussing how or likening HIM to HIS CREATION, and without denying any of HIS attributes or interpreting them in a way different from the apparent meaning. We do not differentiate between any of the divine attributes, no matter what category they come under. Every divine attribute that is mentioned in a saheeh text must be affirmed. 

The Qur’an and Sunnah came to teach people about the attributes of their God, and this can only be done by understanding the words in a real sense; this is the basic principle with regard to statements. The Prophet (blessings and peace of ALLAH be upon him) conveyed the Holy Qur’an in both wording and meaning; not a single letter was narrated from him to suggest that any of the divine attributes should be interpreted in a way different from its apparent meaning, or that its apparent meaning is not intended, or that it means likening HIM to HIS creation, or other phrases used by those who deny the divine attributes or interpret them in a way other than their apparent meaning. Therefore it's important to study from authentic sources or else we can deviate from the right path. May ALLAH keeps guiding us all and protect us from any satanic influences. Aameen.
