and the hadith. So we say as He said, and we describe Him as He described Himself, Almighty, and we do not go beyond that. The attribute of the describers does not reach Him. We believe in the entire Qur'an, its decisive and its ambiguous, and we do not remove from Him any of His attributes due to an abhorrence that is deemed abhorrent. And what He described Himself with of: speech, descending, being alone with His servant on the Day of Resurrection, and placing His covering over him—all of this indicates that God Almighty will be seen in the Hereafter. Delimiting in this is an innovation, and submitting to God in His matter is without an attribute and without Al-Ḥadd, except what He described Himself with. He is Hearing, Seeing; He has never ceased being speaking, living, knowing, forgiving, the Knower of the unseen and the witnessed, the Knower of all hidden things. So these are His attributes with which He described Himself; they are not repelled nor rejected. And He is upon the Throne without Al-Ḥadd, as He said: {Then He rose over the Throne} [Al-Aʿrāf: 54] however He willed. The will belongs to Him, Mighty and Majestic, and the capability belongs to Him. {There is nothing like unto Him}, and He is {the Creator of all things} [Al-Anʿām: 102], and He is as He described Himself: Hearing, Seeing, without Al-Ḥadd and without estimation.
Abraham said to his father: {O my father, why do you worship that which does not hear and does not see and will not benefit you at all?} [Maryam: 42]. Thus it is established that God is Hearing, Seeing, His attributes are from Him. We do not go beyond the Qur'an, the hadith, and the report. "God laughs," and how that is cannot be known except by affirming the Messenger, peace and blessings of God be upon him, and by establishing the Qur'an. The describers do not describe Him, and no one delimits Him. Exalted is God above what the Jahmīs and the anthropomorphists say.
