AbuFadl At-Tamimiyy wrote in his book: The Doctrine of the Imam Al-Mubajjal (The Revered) Ahmad Ibn Hanbal that Imam Ahmad rejected the claim that Allah is a “jism”. He [Imam Ahmad] said: “The names of things are derived from the Shari`ah (Sacred Law) and from the [Arabic] language. The scholars of the Arabic language applied this term [i.e., jism] to all ...

It was said: The Difference Between the Sunni and Quasi-Salafi (Wahhabi) Doctrines I want to, in-sha’ Allah, shed a little more clarity on the controversy between the Sunni `aqidah and that of the quasi-salafis (Wahhabis). Sadly, many of those who profess to follow traditional Sunni scholarship and `aqidah have only exacerbated the confusion, for ...
Allah, ta^ala said in the Quran: لَيْسَ كَمِثْلِهِ شَيْءٌ Laysa kamithlihi shay.

رَوَى مُسْلِمٌ وَغَيْرُهُ عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَيُّ الْكَلامِ أَحَبُّ إِلَى اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ؟ قَالَ: «مَا اصْطَفَاهُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى لِنَفْسِهِ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَبِحَمْدِهِ». مَعْنَاهُ بَعْدَ لا إِلهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ، يَدُلُّ عَلَى ذَلِكَ عِدَّةُ أَحَادِيثَ مِنْهَا حَدِيثُ: «أَحْسَنُ الْحَسَنَاتِ لا إِلهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ». وَرَوَى النّ َسَائِيُّ فِي عَمَلِ الْيَوْمِ ...
The creed of the Muslims is called tanzeeh (exaltation), which is the belief of confirming the existence of Allah while clearing Him from resembling the creations. This belief is a haven between the extremes of ‘Resembling’ and ‘Denying’. Allah refuted both extremes when He said in His book: {(لَيْسَ كَمِثْلِهِ شَيْءٌ وَهُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْبَصِيرُ)} <Nothing ...
