If someone arguesthat Allah has affirmed a Face forHimself in the verse, "the Face of your Lord full of Majesty and Honorwill abide forever." [Soorah ar-Rahman (55): 27](But) I do not understand the Face except like the face of thecreation and therefore affirming the Face of Allahnecessitates resembling Allah with the creation. (Such is)because the Quran is in Arabic and (the meaning of face) iswhat is well-known amongst the people, and the mostperfect face is the human face. So, the Face of Allah is like thehuman face.So, how do we reply?Reply:This is an incorrect understanding because theFace is attributed to Allah and that which is attributed befitsthe One, it is attributed to. So, the Face of Allah befits Him,and the human face befits the human.(For instance), you have a face and the lion has a face, and thecat has a face. So, if we say, the face of a man, the face of a lionand the face of a cat - does this necessitate resemblance?No one ever says that his face resembles the face of a cat or alion. So we know from this instance that the face befits theone it is attributed to.It is thus proven by textual and rational proofs that affirming theAttributes of Allah does not necessitate any resemblance betweenthe Creator and the creation.- 51 -
The Prohibition of Takyeef(describing Allah or asking about His description)The Attributes of Allah cannot be described - neither by actions norby words.Textual Proof(for the prohibition of Takyeef)“They will never encompass anything of His Knowledge." [Soorah Ta-Ha (20): 110] "They will never encompass anything of HisKnowledge." [Soorah al-Baqarah (2): 255]"Say (O Muhammad ), "the things that my Lord has indeedforbidden are... saying things about Allah of which you have noknowledge." [Soorah al-A'raf (7): 33]"Do not follow that which you have no knowledge of. Verily! Thehearing and the sight and the heart of each of those you will bequestioned (by Allah)." [Soorah al-Isra (17): 33]Thus, he who describes Allah has said that which he has noknowledge of (because we are not informed about the description ofAllah’s Attributes).- 52 -
