Jama`ah. They adopt the same view in relation to the rest of Allah's Attributes, namely the Attributes of Hearing, Sight, Content, Wrath, the description of having two Hands, Feet, Fingers, Speech, Will and others. All of these Attributes are well known in the literal usage of the Arabic language. Therefore, believing in them is obligatory without knowing the way 'Istiwa' is made as well as believing that all of Allah's Attributes are perfect and complete and that Allah does not resemble His creation in any of His Attributes. His Knowledge, Hands, Fingers and

Content are all unlike that of ours. Allah (may He be Praised) says: There is nothing like Him; and He is the All-Hearer, the All-Seer. Allah (Exalted be He) also says: Say (O Muhammad ﺻﻠﻰ ﺍﷲ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻭﺳﻠﻢ): "He is Allâh, (the) One. "Allâh-us-Samad (ﺍﻟﺴﻴﺪ ﺍﻟﺬﻱ ﻳﺼﻤﺪ ﺇﻟﻴﻪ ﻓﻲ ﺍﻟﺤﺎﺟﺎﺕ) [Allâh the Self-Sufficient Master, Whom all creatures need, (He neither eats nor drinks)]. "He begets not, nor was He begotten. "And there is none co-equal or comparable unto Him." Allah (Exalted be He) also says: Do you know of any who is similar to Him? This means that Allah (may He be Praised) has no co-equal. He (Glorified and Exalted be He) says: So put not forward similitudes for Allâh (as there is nothing similar to Him, nor He resembles anything). Truly! Allâh knows and you know not. There are many Ayahs in this regard. It is incumbent upon the true believer to believe in what Allah and His Messenger said as maintained by the predecessors of the Ummah (nation) from among the Companions and their followers who sincerely adopted their way. We should beware of the heretic views of the innovators who introduce Bid`ah into Islam and abandon the teachings of the Book and the Sunnah. They only take their intellects and minds as rulers to the extent that they went far astray and tempted others to follow their way. We ask Allah to protect us and all Muslims from delusive temptations, and to save us from the insinuations of Satan to follow his way. Allah is the One Who is Capable of doing so. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions!
