DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yawm al-khamis, 14th day of Sha’abaan 1446AH, Thursday. 13th Feb. 2025). THE RIGHT WAY TO INTERPRET THE ATTRIBUTES OF ALLAH Azzawajal. BismilLah. 

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 LORD, 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 Azzawajal keeps guiding and protecting us from any satanic influences. Aameen.
