رد: Allah’s Names and Attributes 5- Some of the people of Tahrؤ«f and Ta‘tؤ«l say that Ahl-us-Sunnah apply Tashbؤ«h, Tajsؤ«m, and Tamthؤ«l:
It is strange that one is accused of believing in what he actually denies. In fact, Ahl-us-Sunnah wa al-Jamؤپ‘ah deny Tashbih and Tamthؤ«l. They even hold that whoever likens Allah to His creation is a disbeliever.So, how could they be claimed to uphold what they openly deny?!This is absolute aggression.
Ahl-us-Sunnah wa al-Jamؤپ‘ah rather say: we do not apply Tashbؤ«h or Tamthؤ«l; rather, we affirm what Allah affirms for Himself and what His Messenger (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) affirms for Him without Tamthؤ«l or Takyؤ«f. So, why do you tarnish our approach by accusing us of applying Tamthؤ«l and Tashbؤ«h?!
It is not strange, however, that Ahl-us-Sunnah wa al-Jamؤپ‘ah be subjected to such accusations because casting accusations at the people of the truth is a hereditary habit of the enemies of the prophets (peace be upon them).Prophets were accused of being magicians and of being madmen.{Similarly, there came not to those before them any messenger except that they said, “A magician or a madman.”}[Adh-Dhؤپriyؤپt: 52]But, would the truth ever diminish by such accusations? No. Instead, it overflows and becomes stronger and clearer, praise be to Allah. Ahl-us-Sunnah wa al-Jamؤپ‘ah disavow such faults which those who distort words from their proper usage accuse them of.They also accuse Ahl-us-Sunnah wa al-Jamؤپ‘ah of applying Tajsؤ«m! How could this be? What is the meaning of Tajsؤ«m?In fact, you will never come across the term Tajsؤ«m if you read the whole Qur’an and reviewed the tradition of the Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) in full. You will not find the term Jism (body) affirmed for Allah or negated from him, neither in the Book of Allah nor in the Sunnah of His Messenger (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him).Why then do we tire our minds and thoughts by trying to communicate a negative image for those who affirm for Allah the attributes of perfection according to the way that Allah wills?!Since the term Jism is not mentioned in the Qur’an or the Sunnah, Ahl-us-Sunnah wa al-Jamؤپ‘ah follow their own approach regarding it.They remain silent regarding it. So, they say: we do not affirm the attribute of Jism but we also do not deny it literally. Rather, we scrutinize its meaning by asking the speaker: what do you mean by Jism?If you mean the true essence that possesses the perfect attributes that befit it, then indeed, Allah Almighty has been and will always be Living, All-Knowing, Omnipotent, and possessing the attributes of perfection that befit Him. But, if you mean something else, like the corporal nature of humans, where each part of the body needs the other parts and needs nourishment necessary for its survival, then this is a meaning that does not befit Allah, the Exalted and Glorified. In this way, we have dealt with the meaning properly.As for the term itself, we are not allowed either to affirm or negate it. But we remain silent about it, because if we affirm it, we will be asked to present our proof,and if we negate it, we will also be asked to present our proof.Therefore, we should remain silent regarding the term, but when it comes to the meaning, we should follow the approach that we have mentioned above in detail. |
