أ---: معناه الإيمان بأنه لا يجوز أن نسمّي الله أو نصفه إلا بما سمّى به نفسه أو وصفها به رسوله ﷺ، فلا يُسمّى أحد بأسماء الله وصفاته. وعلينا أن نؤمن بجميع صفات الله التي أخبر بها في كتابه (القرآن) أو ذكرها على لسان رسوله محمد ﷺ، دون تغيير معناها أو تعطيلها أو تحريف معانيها أو تشبيهها (إعطاؤها مماثلة) بشيء من المخلوقات. قال الله تعالى: {يَعْلَمُ مَا بَيْنَ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَمَا خَلْفَهُمْ وَلَا يُحِيطُونَ بِهِ عِلْمًا} [طه: ١١٠].

A--- It means to believe in that: we must not name or qualify Allah except with what He or His Messenger (Peace be upon him) has named or qualified Him. None can be named or qualified with the Names or Attributes of Allah. We must believe in all the Attributes of Allah which Allah has stated in, His Book (the Qur'an) or mentioned through His Messenger Muhammad (Peace be upon him) without 'changing their meaning or ignoring them or twisting their meanings or likening them (giving resemblance) to any of the created things. Almighty Allah says: {He (Allah) knows what happens to them (His creatures) in this world, and what will happen to them (in the Hereafter) but they will never compass anything of His Knowledge}. (Ta-Ha, 110)

قال الله تعالى: {لَيْسَ كَمِثْلِهِ شَيْءٌ ۖ وَهُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْبَصِيرُ}. (الشورى، 11)

Allah the Almighty says: {There is nothing like Him,. and He is the All-Hearer, the All-Seer}. (As-Shura, 11)

قال الله تعالى: {لَّا تُدْرِكُهُ الْأَبْصَارُ وَهُوَ يُدْرِكُ الْأَبْصَارَ ۖ وَهُوَ اللَّطِيفُ الْخَبِيرُ} [الأنعام: ١٠٣]

Allah the Almighty says: {No vision can grasp Him, but He grasps all vision. He is Al-Latif (the Most Subtle and Courteous), WellAcquainted with all things}. (Al-An' am, 103)

عن أُبيِّ بن كعب رضي الله عنه، قال: قال المشركون لرسول الله ﷺ حين ذكر آلهتهم: "انسب لنا ربك". فأنزل الله تعالى: {قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ * اللَّهُ الصَّمَدُ} [الإخلاص: 1، 2] [الله الصمد: السيد المصمود إليه في قضاء الحوائج، الذي يحتاج إليه جميع الخلق، (لا يأكل ولا يشرب)]. الصمد: هو الذي {لَمْ يَلِدْ وَلَمْ يُولَدْ} [الإخلاص: 3]. (رواه الترمذي). فكل ما يُولد يموت، ولا يموت أحد إلا سيُورث. والله تعالى لا يموت، ولا يُورَث أبدًا. {وَلَمْ يَكُن لَّهُ كُفُوًا أَحَدٌ} [الإخلاص: 4]، أي: ليس له مثيل ولا نظير.

On the authority of Ubai Ibn Ka'b (May Allah be pleased with him), the polytheists said to Allah's Messenger (Peace be upon him) when he mentioned their gods, "Tell us about the ancestors of your lord". Allah the Almighty revealed (answering them): {Say (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)):"He is Allah, (the) One. Allah-us-Samad [Allah the Self-Sufficient Master, Whom all creatures need, (He neither eats nor drinks)]). (Al-Ikhlas, 1, 2) AsSamad: is Him Who {begets not, nor was He begotten}. (AI-Ikhlas, 3) (At- Tirmidhi) For everything that is begotten is going to die; and no one dies, 'but will be inherited. Allah the Almighty neither dies, nor will ever be inherited. {And there is none co-equal or comparable unto Him} (Al-Ikhlas, 4) i.e. there is nothing like Him (16)
