Research Summary

Informative qualities(As-Sifat Al-Khbriya) between denial and proof are a new vision

Assistant Professor Dr. Mohammed Mohsin Radhi

University Of Anbar / College Of Islamic Sciences

This is the study deals with the knowledge of what is meant by informativeattributes and the doctrines

of Islamic sects. It gives views and solutions to the dispute in this matter to reach a new vision. The most

prominent results are:

1. Informative qualities: are words added to God Almighty, which may have the meaning of simile and

anthropomorphism, Such as hand, eye, face, soul, coming, the accessories of that include prejudice,

direction, movement, transition and disappearance, and the way to prove it is what is mentioned

inQuran and Sunnah.

2. The Islamic sects on this issue are divided into three schools: the firstis the doctrine of proof with

analogy and anthropomorphism. The second is the doctrine of interpretation. The thirdis the doctrine

of proof with deanthropomorphism and authorization.

3. Thefirst of these words in terms of adding them to the Almighty Godis not to discusstoo muchfor God

Almighty has the knowledge of them. We do not say are the qualities, nor we deny it too; because the

texts are not conclusive in indicating the descriptive one. The lack of realization of the proper fit is

between it and God Almighty. Otherwise, it is possible to interpret the verses that included these

words and interpret them according to the general context in which they are mentioned.

Informative qualities (As-Sifat Al-Khbriya) between denial and proof are a new vision

An introduction:

The question of informativequalitiesof the most famous questions which so controversial among

the Islamic sects. This studycomes to address this problem through answers the following questions

1. What is meant by informativequalities?

2. What are the schools of Islamic sects?

3. Is it possible to come up with a new view on the issue?

The great importance of this research is being a review long debated of this matter of wordsin order

to solve thedisputesamong the Islamic sects. For the purpose of having a new view on this issue is to

build up the bridges of understanding and turn disagreements into unanimous agreements.

In this study I followed the comparative approach in explaining the positions of the sects on this issue. I

also mentioned the doctrines and attributed them to their owners, along with analyzing some texts

according to the research requirements ,and this methodology required that the research plan be as

follows:

First is the definition of informativequalities. Second is Islamic doctrines of the difference in the issue

of informative qualities. Third is the researcher’snoteson the doctrines of the difference in informative

qualities. Fourth is with qualities of informative betweendenials.The conclusion sums up the findings of

the research and includes the most prominent results.

Researcher

First:Definition of informative attributes

Although the debate on the informative attributes has emerged in the late first century during

that the era of the followers ,(1)the use of a term does not appear only in the later writings.

the most prominent reference is to Bayhaqi (decs 458h), when he said: "The auditory (2)It is what is

provenbytheQur’anandSunnahonly,suchastheface, the hands and the eye, and it is not permissible

to adapt them, because the face has an attribute and not an image, and the hands have two characteristics

and not the two limbs , and the eye has an attribute and not a pupil ,and the way it is proven has self-

attributes. There are traits with. "(3)

Al-Bayhaqi mentioned certain words: the face, the hands, and the eye that were added to God Almighty,

and he mentioned that they are attributes of God Almighty, while denying their similarity to that of

creatures, and restricting their evidence to the news, that is, to the text of theQur’an and the Sunnah

only .

Clearer, in the use of this term, is Shahristani (desc548h) saying "as well as prove (4)recipes newsworthy ,

such as: hands, face, and do not interpret it, they say: these qualities have been received in Islam ,and are

called : informative attributes " .(5)

In lines of these two texts. (6) The researcher can define the informative qualities, as: words added to God

Almighty, which can potentially mean simile and anthropomorphism, such as: hand, eye, face, soul,

coming, they are proven by the Qur’anandtheSunnah.

(1)As indicated by the texts that I will mention on the topic: The Doctrine of Evidence with integrity and authorization. (2)That is, the auditory is one of the attributes, which is in contrast to what is proven through the mind. 3Al-Bayhaqi, Al-Ithiqad, 71 (4)ie : the predecessor of the Sunnis and the group (5)Al-Shahristani, Al-Milal and an-Nahl, 1/92 .See: Same source, 101. (6)There are other texts as well, but these two texts are mentioned for their clarity in explaining what is meant

by( informativequalities.)There are many texts affirming these qualities benefit this meaning, including: Al-Baghawi (These and

their counterparts are attributes of God Almighty ,with which the hearing has been mentioned , one must believe in them, and

pass them on their face, avoiding interpretation, avoiding the analogy, believing that the God Almighty does not resemble any of

his attributes of the attributes of creation, just as he does not resemble himself with creation. onthis,theummah’spredecessors

and the scholars of the Sunnah went on, they all received it with faith and acceptance, and avoided representation and

interpretation in it, and entrusted knowledge in it to God Almighty. ” (Al-Baghawi, Sharh Al-Sunnah, 1 / 170-171), and I will mention other texts in the upcoming discussions.

Volume 22, Issue 11, November - 2020 Page-1218

To prove these qualities with those who adopted them (7) depends on the conveying , that is, the text is

from the Qur’an and the Sunnah only. There is no entry for evidence of reason in it, and if the

attributesare not reported in it, they will not have them proven them as attributes of God Almighty.

Second: Islamic doctrines views about informative attributes

The Islamic sectshave differing views concerning the informative attributes. Some schools of thought

deny that these expressions are attributes of God Almighty with explanation. Other schools prove the

point that these are traits but with analogy and anthropomorphism. Some of them proved attributes of

God Almighty with de anthropomorphism, and in what follows the explanation of that:

The first doctrine: the doctrine of proof with analogy and anthropomorphism

The followers of this doctrine prove the meaning of these expressions according to the apparent origin of

the word, without distinguishing between the Creator and the creature,etc, and this is the doctrine of the

anthropomorphic(8) .

Other Islamic sects reject this doctrine, and they set up the evidence it violates the principles

of Islam because it is an analogy of God Almighty with His creation. It contradicts the definitive principle

that the Almighty God has anthropomorphism.There is nothing like Him; and He is the All-Hearer,

the All-Seer.[Al-Shura: 11].some scholars have stipulated the infidelity of those who embrace this

doctrine, including: Imam Abu Jaafar Al-Tahawi(d.321AH),whosaid:“WhoeverdescribesGod ina

sense of human meanings, he has disbelieved, and whoever sees this is considered, and according to the

saying of the infidels, he is rebuked. Moreover, he knew that he was not like a human being in his own

characteristics .(9)

Abu Al-Mu'in al-Nasafi(d.508AH)said:“AndGodAlmightydeniedtheanalogybetweenhimselfand

other things, so the statement by establishing the place for him is a response to this textThere is nothing

like Him Is not nothing like Him ,Which is the possibility of it - to - face only phenomenon, rad text

infidel, God protect us from it" .(10)

The second doctrine: the doctrine of interpretation

The followers of this doctrine believe that the expressions contained in these texts are among the

similarities that must be interpreted and brought back to the arbitrator. It is not permissible to carry it on

the way originating from the pronunciation because it leads to analogy and anthropomorphism, and the

addition of organs and limbs to God Almighty, and this is what Al-Bari, may He be glorified and exalted,

excludes There is nothing like Him; and He is the All-Hearer, the All-Seer. [Al-Shura: 11]

Hence, they are not attributes of God Almighty.

This is the doctrine of Mu'tazila ,(11) and it is one of two approaches:between the Ash'ari ,(12) and in the

Matridian ,(13) especially when the later ones.

(7)But I said: "When m n told them ;"Because its proof is disputed among the Islamic sects, as will be mentioned below. (8)Among them are: Dawood al-Jawarbi, Muqatil ibn Sulayman (d. 150 AH), and al-Hashamiya: the companions of Hisham bin

al-Hakam (d. 179 AH) and Hisham bin Salem al-Jawaliqi, and al-Karamiyya companions of Muhammad bin Karam al-Sijistani

The third doctrine: the doctrine of proof with integrity anddeanthropomorphism:(14)

The scholars of this doctrine believe that the expressions contained in the texts such as hand, eye,

face ,soul, etc, are attributes of God Almighty. They are later termed the informative attributes .It is

obligatory to pass the texts that come with as they are without any interpretation of it, no adaptation, no

analogy, no representation, or restoration of its knowledge to God Almighty what so ever.

These words demonstrate qualities of God Almightyonly, but without making analogies with other

creatures. This is the known doctrine of the predecessor and the people of the modernists(15). It is the

other approach of theAsh’ari ,(16)and in the Matrididism (17). As follows, a group of views of the scholars

of this doctrine, which clarify this opinion:

Imam Abu Hanifa al-Nu'man (d.150AH) says: “What God Almighty mentioned in the Qur’an from

mentioning the face, the hand and the soul, it has qualities without how it is. How, his anger and his

contentment are two of the attributes of God Almighty, without how .(18)

When Abdullah bin Al-Mubarak(d.118AH),AlAwza’i(157AH),Sufyanal-Thawri (d.161 AH), Al-

Layth bin Saad (d.175 AH), and Malik bin Anas (d.179 AH) were asked about these texts, they answered:

accept it as it came without how.(19)

Moein Psychological, Evidence Note, 1/286 .Al-Babarti, Explanation of the Tahawiyah Creed ,126 .Al-Bayadi, Signs of the

Maram, 189. (14)not trying to explore is a language and a convention:

not trying to explore in language: It is said: He delegated an order to him if he returned it to him and made him the ruler in

it .See: Ibn Manzoor, Lisan Al-Arab, article: (Fawd), 7/210.

As for not trying to explore in the terminology, Al-Manawi defined it as returning the matter to God and repudiating the

strength .See: Al-Manawi, Attachment of the Definitions Missions, 104-1105.

However, in light of the texts that mentioned this term, I tend to define it as follows :Failure to comprehend the meaning of the

legal word in terms of adding it to God Almighty, and returning his knowledge to him, Glory be to Him, while negating the

impossible meaning in his case.

It is narrated by Sufyan ibn Uyaynah (d.198 AH) that all that God Almighty described himself in the

Qur’ananditsinterpretation:itsrecitationandreading,silenceonit,and how and not how like .(20)

A man asked Imam Malik bin Anas about the Almighty’s saying The Most Gracious (Allah) rose

over(Istawa) the (Mighty) Throne (in a manner that suits His Majesty).the most merciful sat on his

throne [Taha: 5], How is that ?Imam Malik nodded his head until al-Rahma, meaning: meaning the

race ,(21) Then hesaid:“Al-Istiwa is not unknown, and the quality is unreasonable, and believing in it is a

duty, and asking about it is an innovation ”.(22)

Muhammad ibn al-Hasan al-Shaybani (d. 189 AH) - the owner of Abu Hanifa, hesaidinsuchtexts:“We

narrate them, we believe in them, and we do not explain them ”.(23)Imam Muhammad ibn Idris al-Shafi’i

(d.204 AH) was asked about the attributes of God Almighty, and he showed that God has names and

attributes, and no one on whom the argument was based can respond.TheQur'an was revealed by the age

of pubertyand the Messenger of Allah may Allah bless him and his family to say, and so about to tell God

that he listens and Sees with his hands, and his face, etc. They are not to be perceived of the mind and

soul. It is obligatory this prove qualities, and the metaphor denied them, as the Almighty denied himself,

and said:There is nothing like it, and He is the Hearing and the Sight There is nothing like Him; and

He is the All-Hearer, the All-Seer. [Al-Shura: 11] .(24)

Abdul Wahid al - Tamimi (T410h) statesthat Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal (T241h) is asked before his death

about thesequalities, he said: "pass them as theycome, and believe in them. They are sound and agreed

upon unless proven otherwise. God is to be described only by the very exact descriptions mentioned by

Himself There is nothing like Him; and He is the All-Hearer, the All-Seer. [Al-Shura: 11] ,]and

whoever speaks in thisaspect isone of the people of Heretics. This view andthe ones likeit are sound

and true: what is contrary to that is a lie and a fraud ” .(25)Insomenarrationsabouthim:“Wedo believe

in it and there is no how or quality or meaning. We do not reject anything from it ”.(26)

The scholars reported this doctrine on the authority of scholars from the predecessors and the people of

hadith. Al-Tirmidhi (d.279AH)says:“Thedoctrineregarding thisamong thescholarsamong is taken

from the imams. Imamsnarrated these things, and then they said: “These hadiths are narrated and we

believe in them, and nobody can ask why. This is the approach the people of hadith chose to narrate these

things as they came,to believe in them, and not to be explained, not to be deluded, and not to say:

How ?This is the view of the scholars who chose and went to it .(27)

It may be thought that the doctrine of interpretation is specific to the verbal difference that we mentioned:

(Mu'tazila, Ash'ari, and Maturid). The follower of that this doctrine finds is not unknown to the approach

of the righteous predecessors of the Companions and Taabi'een, and then those who came after them from

the followers of the followers and scholars who followed their approach to the creed. A group of them

said interpretation of some texts from the NobleQur’anandtheSunnahwhichincludedtheexpressions

that were called“ :informative attributes,”including:

What came on the authority of Ibn Abbas (d. 68AH), may God be pleased with him, regarding the

interpretationof the term:“Al-Kursi” “the throne” in the Almighty saying is thatHis throne extends

over the heavens and the earth[Al-Baqarah: 255]. That what is meant by knowledge.(28). In the words

of the Almighty, You are under our eyes[Al-Tur: 48,]. Ibn Abbas first used the word: “oureyes,”he

said: We see what is being done with you ,(29)And first:“Al-Nur”inthewordsoftheHighest portrayal,

Allah is the light of heavens and the earth[An-Nur: 35], that what is meant is: managing the matter in

them, and likewise it was quoted from his student Mujahid bin Jabr (d. 104 AH) .(30)

Al-Tabari narrated (310 AH) an interpretation of the word: (with a hand) in his sayingwith power did

we construct the heavens. Verily, we are able to extend the vastness of space thereof[Al-Dhariyat:

47], by force, on the authority of a group of the predecessors and scholars, including: Ibn Abbas, Mujahid

bin Jabr, Qatada bin Dama (d. 118 AH), and Sufyan al-Thawri .(31)

And in the Almighty saying And your Lord cames with the angels in rows [Al-Fajr: 22], Al-Hasan

Al-Basri (d.110AH) said :His order came and made up for it , (32) And in His sayingwherever you

turn(yourselves or your faces)there is the face of Allah[Al - Baqarah: 115], Mujahid and Qatada and

al - Hasan and others said: Fet m kiss God .(33)

And from what was reported from the interpretation on the authority of Imam Malik bin Anas that it was

the first hadith of revelation ,(34)

So he went to what is meant by God Almighty revealed(35)

.

Imam Al-Shafi’i interpreted the phrase: “the face” in the Almighty sayingwherever you

turn(yourselves or your faces)there is the face of Allah [Al - Baqarah: 115], Hesaid:“Thentheface

to which God directed you(36)”.

The scholars quoted Imam Ahmad the interpretation in more than one text, including the interpretation of

the Almighty sayingdo they then wait for anything other than Allah should come to them in the

shadows of the clouds and angles?[Al-Baqarah: 10]. He said what is meant is: his ability and

command, and he led him to the Almighty saying Do they look (the disbelievers and the polytheists)

command (the torment or the day of Resurrection) of your lord [Bees: 33] .(37)

Likewise, Imam Al-Bukhari (256 AH) had some interpretive opinions, after mentioning the Almighty is

saying Everything will perish save His face [Al-Qasas:88], the firstwordwas: “his face,” saying:

“Excepthissovereignty ”.(38) the first word: “Al-Ain”,inthewordsofGodAlmightyyou may be made

under My eyes[Taha: 39], saying: “It will be fed (39) ”As well as the first word: “laughter” (40)

With mercy(41).

Among the well-known scholars for following, the Evidence Doctrine with a hermeneuticswas Imam al-

Tabari. He practiced hermeneuticsa lot, including the word: “the hand”, so he gave it more than one

interpretationwith power did we construct the heavens. Verily, we are able to extend the vastness of

space thereof [Al-Dhariyat: 47],the first by force(42). In the words of the AlmightyVerily, those

who give Bai’ah (pledge) to you (Mohammed) they are giving Bai’ah (pledge) to Allah. The Hand of

Allah is over their hands.[Al-Fath: 10]. He mentioned two aspects of interpretation: One of them: The

hand of God is above their hands when pledging allegiance ;Because they used to pledge allegiance to

GodbysellingtheirProphet,mayGod’sprayersandpeacebeuponhimandhisfamily,andtheother:the

power of God is above their power in the supportofHisMessenger,mayGod’sprayersandpeacebe

upon him and his family and peace .But because they Bayaoa the Messenger of Allah on His victory over

the enemy ,(43)and other interpretations .(44)

Among the scholars known for their embracing the doctrine of proof with anthropomorphism ( tanzih)

and also practiced interpretation: Abu Al-Muzaffar Al-Samaani(d.489AH),sohewentthat:“support”in

the Almighty saying

We construct the heavens. Verily, we are able to extend the vastness of space thereof [Al-

Dhariyat: 47] means: strength and power ,(45)And the first expression: “the face” in the Almighty

sayingAnd the face of your Lord full of majesty and Honor will remain forever And the [Al-

Rahman: 27], he said: Your Lord remains ,(46) other interpretations(47).

Therefore, we can say that the doctrine of interpretation is not alien to the followers of the doctrine of

proof with anthropomorphismand authorization, but rather has a remarkable presence, albeit limited.

The second note:On the doctrine of proof with anthropomorphism and authorization

This doctrine combined three things: proof, anthropomorphism, and authorization. It proved these terms

to be attributes of God Almighty; they are impeccable. Followers denied analogy, anthropomorphism,

representation and conditioning, and with proof and honesty, they are at the same time authorized in that

they did not delve into these terms to know the truth of adding them to God Almighty, but they returned

their knowledge to Him, glory be to Him.

Some scholars have argued that the anthropomorphismthat the adherents of this doctrine have said

has a type of interpretation in that these terms are among their linguistic meanings: meaning that bears

physicality, analogy, and conditioning ... etc., and then the neglect requires removing these possible

meanings, so that it has a kind of interpretation. , Which is what wecalled it( total interpretation .(48)

These three meanings :proof, anthropomorphism, and not trying to explore are very clear

in the texts we mentioned in the statement of the doctrine of proof with honesty, such as: its

interpretation : its recitation, reading and silence, and“ commanditasitcame”,and“ it is believed and not

explained , “asking about him is a heresy”, and its truth is not perceived by reason or by narration,

and“ whoeverspeaksinitsmeaningisinnovated”,andothertexts that confirm silence and not delve into

it, entrusting the knowledge of its meaning and truth to God Almighty, and describing the one who

wanders in it innovation and contravenes the approach of the predecessors.

The scholars of this doctrine emphasized these three matters in their writings and conveyed them from the

predecessors. After mentioning these words, Al-Baghawi (516AH)said: “Theseand theircounterparts

are attributes of God Almighty, and hearing has been mentioned in them, one must believe in them, and

pass them on on the face of it(49). Reflecting in it from interpretation, avoiding the analogy, believing that

God Almighty does not resemble any of his attributes of the attributes of creation, just as he does not

resemble himself with creation, God Almighty said

There is nothing like Him; and He is the All-Hearer, the All-Seer. [Al-Shura: 11]. Thisbefore

the nation 's predecessor and scholars of the year, they received all of faith and acceptance, and avoid

them for representation and interpretation, and Okloa knowing where to God Almighty ,as God told

the Almighty for the unswerving in science, said Ezz AlmightyAnd those who are firmly grounded in

knowledge say :”we believe in it. The whole of it (clear and unclear verses) are from our Lord

”[Al –Imran:7] " (50)Ibn Qudamah al-Maqdisi (d.620AH)says“Thedoctrineof thepredecessors,may

God have mercy on them, believes in the attributes and names of God Almighty with which he described

himself in his revelations and revealed or on the tongue of his Messenger, without adding to them or

diminishing them, nor exceeding them, nor interpretation, nor interpretation of them by what It

contradicts its outward appearance, and does not compare it to the characteristics of creatures, especially

the modern ones .Rather they passed it as it came and returned its knowledge to those who said it, and its

meaning to the one who spoke it(51) .

Al-dhahabi says (T748h): " To say it in the door :acknowledgment, and passing, and interpreting

its meaning to themost sincere infallible writer (52) "also said “ :thepredecessors asserted that

the knowledge of these qualitiesis onlyfor Allah and His Messenger. (53) "

Ibn Rajab al-Hanbali(d.795AH)says:“Theright thingiswhat therighteouspredecessorshadtopass

through the verses of the attributes and their hadiths as they came without interpretation, adaptation or

(48)See :Aegean, attitudes, 272-273 .Ibn Hajar al-Haytami, Opening al-Ilah in Sharh al-Mishkat, 1/447 .Al-Bayadi, Maram Signs,

embodiment, which is what, denies it. Rather, what is meant is: belief in the texts of informative qualities so that their words are

read and passed on as they are without going into them or trying Interpretation and interpretation of it and knowing its truth, with

God Almighty transcending what is not appropriate for it, and it is supported by the negation of the analogy from God Almighty,

and the denial of knowledge about it and returning that to God Almighty. (50)Al- Baghawi, Explanation of the Sunnah, 1 / 170-171.

representation, and it is not true of any of them at all to the contrary, especially Imam Ahmad ,nor to

delve into their meanings ,nor to quote a proverb. to them.(54) "

Al-Suyuti(d.911AH)says:“ThemajorityoftheSunnisamongthepredecessorsandthepeopleofhadith

are on faith and delegate its intended meaning to God Almighty , and we do not explain it even though we

neglect it to him from its truth .(55)”

These words and the previous ones indicate explicitly and clearly on these three things that make them

this doctrine: proof, infallibility, and authority ,and this approach did not come out of nothing but it

showed the texts of al - Shara, and that is the hadeeth of the Prophet peace be upon him and his family

and him( a disputes intheQur’anisdisbelief- three times), (56)So do what you know of it ,and do what

you are ignorant of , bring it back to the all-knowing lord(57).

The third note:On combining the doctrine of interpretation and the doctrine of proof with

anthropomorphism:

Some of the later Ash'ari and Maturids went to apply the doctrine of hermeneutics and the doctrine of

proof and dedication together, according to the requirements of reality and the type of interpretation.

In terms of reality requirements,they explain the commitment approach of proof with infallibility and not

trying to explore on the basis of the lack of need for interpretation, not like who came after them were

obliged by the need for him to respond to people of heretic , or so widespread suspicion or infiltration

of delusions of false recall. Hence, as evidenced by that the Companions and the Salaf responded to

fatalism when they demonstrated their heresy ,(58)Before their appearance, they did not speak about that.

In terms of the type of interpretation , they but had authorized interpretation if the meaning of the first it

soon understood addresses the Arabs is deprecated, is not inconsistent with the origin of infallibility, and

the of preventing it, and committed itself through proof with infallibility and authority, without indulging

in this interpretation of the words . (59)

According to this opinion, there is integrity between the doctrine of interpretation and the doctrine of

proof with transcendence, especially since the doctrine of interpretation had a presence - albeit limited -

among some of the Companions and scholars of the predecessor, as mentioned above.

Fourth:Informative Attributes between Negation and Evidence A New Vision:

Before stating the researcher's vision of the position on the verses of the informative qualities, a pause

must be taken to liberate the place of disagreement between the doctrines of proof with

anthropomorphismand the doctrine of interpretation.

There is no doubt that both the text of the isms of the Transcendence of God, but the difference between

them in dealing with these words mentioned in the texts added to the Almighty God, proof with The view

infallibility impact and attributes of God Almighty. Their meanings and their truth belong only to God

Almighty. As for the doctrine of interpretation, it denied that these expressions are attributes of God

Almighty, and examined into their meanings according to the context in which they are mentioned. These

traits are considered that among the requirements of the righteousness of God Almighty and respecting

what is not befitting.If we look at any of the texts in dispute, we will find two aspects in it:

Firstly, these texts included the addition of a specific word to God Almighty, and this word carries a

meaning that God Almighty excuses from Him from the meanings and simile anthropomorphism,

solutions and organs, etc. Secondly, this word came within a specific context to indicate a general

meaning of the text in which it was mentioned.

For example, God Almighty said wherever you turn(yourselves or your faces)there is the face of

Allah [Al - Baqarah: 115], this text included an addition of the word: (the face) to God Almighty,

which is a word that bears the meaning of the analogy and the nature of it , which is what Al-Bari, may

He be glorified and exalted, excludes, and at the same time this word came in a specific context that the

Arab understands, meaning: the direction or path of God Or the face to which God Almighty directed

you(60)

Did the doctrine of the deny infallibility, integrity and the general meaning indicated by such texts?

The followers of the Evidence Doctrine do not think that they will deny the general meaning of these

texts, especially since some interpretive stations have been proven from them, as we mentioned earlier.

Their proof of these terms are attributes of God Almighty that does not conflict with the interpretation of

the texts contained in them in terms of their general meaning. Forinstance, the interpretation of the

Almighty’s saying : wherever you turn(yourselves or your faces)there is the face of Allah [Al -

Baqarah: 115]As one unit, we find al-Tabari goes to the point: wherever you turn and face you, there is

the kiss of God, and his transmission from a group of the predecessors (61). Thenheinterpreted:“Theface

ofGod,”withthekissofGod,eventhoughheisoneofthose who affirm the quality of the face of God

Almighty(62).

in the Almighty sayingVerily, those who give Bai’ah (pledge) to you (Mohammed) they are giving

Bai’ah (pledge) to Allah. The Hand of Allah is over their hands. [Al-Fath: 10]Al-Tabari interpreted

the word “ the hand : in two ways :One of them is: the power of God is above their power in the support

ofHisMessenger,mayGod’sprayersandpeacebeuponhimandhisfamilyandpeace .

they pledge allegiance (Baya’a) to the Messenger of Allah peace be upon him and his family and him on

his victory over the enemy (63). Likewise, in the words of God AlmightyWe construct the heavens.

Verily, we are able to extend the vastness of space thereof [Al-Dhariyat: 47]al - Tabari :supported )

by force, and transfer it from a group of the predecessor ,(64) Although he who affirms the hand is an

attribute of God Almighty (65).

In light of the above, there is no contradiction between proving the word:“face”,“hand”,and“eye”,etc.,

an attribute of God Almighty, and the general meaning of the text that included this word, learned from

the context. This means that the problem not in the general meaning of the verse ,the omission is

(60)An interpretation of this verse has already been quoted (61)See :al-Tabari, Jami al-Bayan, 2/535. (62)See :Al-Tabari, Insight in the Landmarks of Religion, 133-134.

(63)See :Tabari, inclusive statement, 22/210. (64)see: Tabari, inclusive statement, 22/438. (65)see :Tabari, glances in religion 133 landmarks.

Volume 22, Issue 11, November - 2020 Page-1226

stubbornness and ignorance of the Arab tongue ,but the problem:Do these words attributes to God or

not as well ?That is why the followers of the evidentiary doctrine intensified their denial with respect

for their opponents of the people of interpretation, who refused to regard these words as attributes of God

Almighty.(66)

Now ,after solving the dispute, we will move on to these words added to God Almighty, and I say; these

words prove the qualities of God Almighty and make the classification of this issue within the category

belief. The matters of beliefsrequire being definite and certainty, an agreement between the Islamic

sects(67). Ifthe issue is informative,i.e., its evidence is auditory (my transmission), as in our issue. Then, its

evidence must be definitive and of definitive significance,that is,it must be definitive in terms of the way

it reached us, and this is inevitable in terms of frequency and definitively in terms of its significance.

Therefore, there is only one meaning is possibl (68). Was this restriction achieved in these expressions in

order to judge that they are attributes of God Almighty?

The one,who recites the verses that revealtous GodAlmighty’ssublime attributes, will find them clear.

For example, the verses that came as the Almighty that He Does Hear, Know, as the Almighty

says truly, Allah is ever All-Hearer , Al-Seer[An-Nisa: 58], verse truly, He is ever Al-Knower,

All-Seer of his slaves [Al-Israa: 1], There is nothing like Him; and He is the All-Hearer, the All-

Seer. [Al-Shura: 11] and the statement of these two descriptions together was repeated in ten places,

and the description of them came together more than thirty times, including his sayingverse truly, He is

ever Al-Knower, All-Seer of his slaves [Al-Israa: 1]and his sayingOr lord!accept this servicefrom

us. Yo are the All-Hearer, the Al-Knower [Al-Baqarah: 127]. The description of them came in a

variety of combinations and multiple affirmations, as is evident, in a way that indicates certainty and

certainty by proving these two descriptions of God Almighty without leaving room for doubt.

If we look at the verses that mentioned the word,“thehand”,forexample,asGodAlmightysayswith

power did we construct the heavens. Verily, we are able to extend the vastness of space thereof

[Al-Dhariyat: 47] , his sayingDo they not see that We have created for them of what Our hands

have created the cattle, so that they are their owners,[Ya Sin: 71], and his sayingWhat prevents

you from prostratingyourself to one whom I have created with Both My hands[Sad . 75],and his

words The hand of God is over their hands.[Alfath: 10,]we find no significance to prove the attribute

"hand" to God in the power of the verses that denote text t on the description of God as Hearing , or Seer.

We do not find the frank description: it did not come in the context of informing qualities of The

Almighty. They came in a context that benefited a general meaning that the Arabs knew from her words,

and this means that these expressions are not definitive in their connotation of description ,(69).

Consequently, the condition of definitive significance that is lacking in proof of auditory or expert

contractual issues is not fulfilled.

However, at the same time, it cannot be concluded that these expressions are not informativeof the

attributes of God Almighty. To explain, whenwe describe a wall as three meters high as being high, the

listener will get a visualization of the ratio between the object andattributive description.

(66)as well as denying the owners of the doctrine of proof with the analogy, who claimed they are members and predators, similar

to the creatures. (67)See :Mohammed Mohsen, theology and doctrine on the origins of inference, 348-383 .Muhammad Mohsen, Al-Yaqin in

matters of belief, 24-38, (68)See :Muhammad Muhsin, The Science of Theology and the Fundamentals of Inference on Belief, 381-383. (69)He referred to that Al-Amadi in the context of talking about such expressions, when he said: “As for saying that it is a

psychological quality in excess of its qualities, it calls for conclusive evidence - as stated above - and does not cut it here, and if

we accept sufficiency in That is with the apparent evidence, because the verse is not addressed to him by any of the verbal

semantics, because of the above, and if we accept that it is possible for him to have a language, but it is also possible for

others .See: Al-Amadi, the first thoughts of thoughts, 1/456.

He is aperceiving witnessusing his/her senses. While we aredescribing awall, which is about to fall, the

Almighty saysthey found therin a wall about to collapse and he (Khider) set it up strait[Alkahf:

77], the listener does not get his perception of the ratio between the object : (wall) and Description: (about

to do ). According to metaphor and metonymy, it is not to be so that the wall has the will or purpose to

fall , but to be exaggerated in the near fall(70). The wall is characterized by having no will nor power.

When we read the Almighty saying :The hand of God is above their hands, there are two

possibilities:The first possibility is to prove the process of having hand to God ,(71)This must be proven by

two things:

One of them is that the Creator, glory be to Him, is a sight under the senses, so the matter is as in the ratio

of height to the wall, and this is not true , because God Almighty is out of the reach of the human sense

and sight.

The second :That the text be conclusive in its connotation of description, as in the Almighty saying:

truly, He is ever Al-Knower, All-Seer of his slaves [Al-Israa , and this is not true either .Because the

meaning of the text:words The hand of God is over their hands.[Alfath: 10,] ,Is not definitive in

description.As for the second possibility , it is: to have the word“hand” in the Almighty

saying:words The hand of God is over their hands.[Alfath: 10,]An indication of power or grace,

and the like, as in an indicationAbout to collapse and he (Khider) set it up strait [Alkahf: 77]. He

wanted to revoke, so he set it upThe description of the wall by will is not true. This denies the proof of the

word:“hand”as an attribute of God Almighty.

Tonegate the will was an attribute of the wall; it came to being a witness using the senses. Therefore, we

know that describing it, as a will is not intended. Thedenialofprovingtheword:“hand”isanattributeof

God Almighty requires God Almighty be a witness who with senses, in order to judge that the goal of this

addition is not to describe. God is not a scenes witness and then denial of affirmation the pieces cannot

be confirmed to prove the word "hand" is a trait to God Almighty.

We find that just as it is not possible toaffirmthe word: “hand” is an attribute of God Almighty.

Consequently, it is impossible to negate it by denying it as well. Therefore, it is imperative to resort to

not trying to explore becausewe are not aware of the fact that this word has been added to God Almighty

and its knowledge returned to Him, Glory be to Him. Wemust negate the impossible meaning in his truth ,

from analogy and anthropomorphism. this is what God Almighty says:

It 1s He Who has sent down to you. (Muhammad) the Book (this, Qur’an). In it are Verses that

are entirely clear, they are the foundations of the Book |and those are the Verses of Al-Ahkdm

(commandments), Al/-Fara’id (obligatoryduties) and Al-Hudud (legal laws for thepunishment of

thieves, adulterers)]; andothers not entirely clear. So as for those inwhose hearts there is a_

deviation (from thetruth) they follow that which is not entirelyclear thereof, seeking A/-Fitnah

(polytheismand trials), and seeking for its hiddenmeanings, but none knows its hiddenmeanings

save Allah. And those who arefirmly grounded in knowledge say: “Webelieve in it; the whole of it

(clear and unclearVerses) are from our Lord.” And nonereceive admonition except men of

understanding [Al-Imran: 7](72)

(70)see :Tabari, inclusive statement, 18/81 .Al-Matredi, Exegesis of the Sunnis, 7 / 198-199 .Al-Razi, Keys to the Unsee,

21/488 .Al-Qurtubi,thecollectionoftheprovisionsoftheQur’an,11/25. (71)This is after the exception of proving it, as evidenced by the people of anthropomorphism and analogy, so it is invalid as stated

above (72)see: Tabari, inclusive statement, / 6 183-206 .Al-Matredi, Exegesis of the Sunnis, 2 / 309-312 .Al-Razi, Keys to the Unsee, 7 /

Volume 22, Issue 11, November - 2020 Page-1228

What inhibits confirming the proof of words asattributes to God is not due to the question of infallibility

anddenying physical organs, etc. If one describes God as Hearing ,Seer,these senses must exist in a

perceiving person. God Almighty is far more superior to that. What prevents these expressions from being

attributes of God Almighty is that they came in a way that has no definite indication of the description,

and God Almighty is all knowing.

The researcher believes that dealing with texts that included words added to God Almighty, from what is

termed: the informative qualities, is as follows:

1. Not proving these expressions as attributes of God Almighty, and at the same time not denying that,

and not trying to explore their meanings and the fact of adding them to the knowledge of God

Almighty, without going into the attempt to know the face and the occasion of adding them to God

Almighty, we are not obligated to do so, in addition to that it will be a unexamined statement on God.

2. Interpretation the verses in which these words are mentioned, according to the general context in

which they are mentioned, but without breaking a specific meaning .Because it is subject to

jurisprudence and opinion, God, unless it is based on conclusive evidence.

Conclusion and search results

1. Informative qualities, they are: words added to God Almighty, which may mean analogy and

anthropomorphism, such as: hand, eye, face, soul, coming, etc., and the requirements for that are

prejudice, direction, movement, transition and disappearance as confirmed by: theQur’an and

Sunnah.

2. The sects , dealing with these terms, were divided into three doctrines: the first: the proof with

analogy and anthropomorphism, and these proved them attributes of God in a way in the way of

creatures, which is a doctrine rejected by the rest of the Islamic sects. The second is the doctrine

of interpretation. They denied that they are attributes of God Almighty, and they counted them

from The similarity, who may bear what is not befitting of God Almighty, and therefore must be

returned to the arbitrator, and interpret it in light of the general context of the text. The third:

the doctrine of proof with anthropomorphismand authorization, and these have proven attributes

of God Almighty, but with God Almighty transcendence from simile, embodiment and

conditioning, and all that is not It is appropriate for him , may He be glorified , to return the

knowledge of its meanings and truth to God Almighty, and forbade discussing them.

3. Although the most well-known of the doctrine of the predecessors is proof with transcendence,

the researcher can ascribe to them the doctrine of interpretation as well, because of the

interpretation of some of the verses reported on them, but it is limited.

4. Some of the later Ash'ari and Maturid scholars went to work with the doctrine of interpretation

and the doctrine of proof and honesty together and they permitted to work with the doctrine of

interpretation if there is a need for it to discredit suspicion or counteract false delusions, bearing

in mind that the interpretation is valid in the words of the Arabs without objection. Otherwise, the

interpretation and commitment is prohibited Evidence doctrine with honesty and authorization.

5. The researcher concluded that the first in these expressions in terms of adding them to God

Almighty is: not to delve into them and delegate their knowledge to God Almighty, so we do not

say they are attributes, nor do we deny that either .Because its texts are not conclusive in

indicating the descriptive one, and the lack of realization of the proper fit between it and God

Almighty, otherwise it is possible to interpret the verses that included these words and interpret

them according to the general context in which they are mentioned.
