Quranic Verses About Attributes Of Allah
Salam,
For the past week or so I’ve been plagued by questions regarding the Noble attributes of God.
So for instance take this ayat,
“قُلْ اِنَّ الْفَضْلَ بِيَدِ اللّٰهِ ۚ يُؤْتِيْهِ مَنْ يَّشَاۤءُ ۗوَاللّٰهُ وَاسِعٌ عَلِيْمٌ ۚ”
-Surah Aal e Imran verse 73.
Would it be said that the phrase “Everything is in Allah’s hands” is referring to Allah’s attribute of control? As the Ashaira say.
Or would we not interpret this ayat at all? As some ahlul hadith say.
I’m aware Ghamidi sahab has said that Kalam should tell us when something is being used literally or metaphorically, but in this case his tafsir is empty of debates such as these.
I want to know whether Ghamidi sahab considers “Wajhullah” or “Yadullah” as attributes or not?

The debates to determine the body of God is frivolous. We should see how language works. When we say, the govt should deal with the rioters with an iron hand, we know we do not mean that the govt is a person who has iron hand. God used the words and style of our language it does not mean that he has two hands or legs and heart etc. Simple we do not know.

Thank you sir, so am I right in assuming that the Farahi opinion is that of Imam ibn al Jawzi? I’m referring to his principle of “al-Idafatu la tufidu al-sifa”..

God already made it clear in his
لَيْسَ كَمِثْلِهِ شَيْءٌ
فَلَا تَضْرِبُوا لِلَّهِ الْأَمْثَالَ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَعْلَمُ وَأَنتُمْ لَا تَعْلَمُونَ
