LessonsThe Balanced Path and Integrity of BeliefQuiz

Taʿṭīl is to negate Allah's attributes or empty their affirmation of its force. Denying the attributes themselves in order to avoid resemblance to creation is the opposite extreme.

Sound belief neither treats Allah's attributes as similar to created attributes nor denies the attributes affirmed of Him.

Both rejecting resemblance and affirming the attributes are necessary; sacrificing either one is not a balanced position.
