رد: Allah’s Names and Attributes 4- Going to extremes in exalting Allah Almighty above some implications of His Names and Attributes entails annulment of the religion entirely.
We mentioned that there are people who exaggerate in exalting Allah Almighty above some implications of His Names and Attributes until they eventually deny the attributes or some of them, or deny the positive attributes, or the positive and negative altogether. Actually, exaggeration in exaltation in all of its forms leads to the annulment of the entire religion.
Example: If the exalter affirms some attributes and denies others, we ask him: on what basis do you affirm or deny?
He replies: I affirm the attributes that are proved by reason, and I deny those which are not proved by reason, or those that reason proved that they should be negated.
Others would say to him: we deny all the attributes because they are not proved by reason or because reason proved that they are to be negated.
The first person would fail to answer them, because if he says that it is reason that affirms or denies such-and-such attribute,he will be answered that what is proved by his reason may not be proved by other people’s reason. So, as long as reason is the reference, anyone may deny what his own reason does not prove.However, this does not stop at the subject of Attributes. Rather, there are the people of Takhyؤ«l (those who adopt deviant philosophic doctrines) who deny the Last Day, the divine messages communicated by the messengers, and even deny the existence of Allah in principle – we seek refuge with Allah from that.They say that their minds do not accept the idea of reviving the bones of the dead after they are decayed, nor the idea of Paradise and Hell. They base their argument on reason, just as the others did.
Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah (may Allah have mercy upon him) said: “Affirming Allah’s Attributes is more recurrent in the Qur’an and the Sunnah than affirming the resurrection. Anyone who denies Allah’s Attributes will have no argument whereby he refutes the claim of those who deny the resurrection. Undoubtedly, denying the resurrection and the legislations invalidates the entire religion.”
Salvation from all that is to follow the safe way by affirming the Names and Attributes that Allah affirms for Himself and negating the attributes He negates from Himself, and remaining silent concerning what He makes no mention of. Thereby, no one can prove us wrong,because we say that these are matters related to the unseen that can be learned only through texts of Shariah and the statements reported from the infallible Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him). Minds are variant and different. Each one of those who advocate reason as a reference claims to be necessary what another claims to be impossible, or just possible to exist but not necessary. |
