and that Allah is established over His Throne, as He—Mighty and Majestic—says:

“The Most Merciful is established over the Throne (5).” [Tā Hā: 5]

And that He has a Face, as He says:

“And the Face of your Lord, full of Majesty and Honor, will remain (27).” [al-Rahmān: 27]

And that He has two Hands, without asking how, as He says:

“I created with My two Hands.” [Sād: 75]

And as He says:

“Rather, both His Hands are outstretched.” [al-Māʾidah: 64]

And that He has two Eyes, without asking how, as He says:

“Sailing under Our Eyes.” [al-Qamar: 14]

And that whoever claims that Allah’s names are other than Him is astray; and that Allah has knowledge, as He says:

“He sent it down with His knowledge.” [al-Nisāʾ: 166]

And as He says:

“No female conceives or gives birth except with His knowledge.” [Fussilat: 47]

We affirm hearing and sight for Allah and do not deny them as the Muʿtazilah, the Jahmiyyah, and the Khawārij have denied them. We affirm strength for Allah, as He says:

“Did they not see that Allah, who created them, is greater than them in strength?” [Fussilat: 15]

We say that Allah’s speech is uncreated, and that He has created nothing without having said to it, “Be” [and it is], as He says:

“Our word to a thing, when We intend it, is only that We say to it, ‘Be,’ and it is (40).” [al-Nahl: 40]

And that nothing of good or evil occurs on earth except what Allah wills; that things come to pass by the will of Allah—Mighty and Majestic—and that no one is capable of anything before
