Bayān Talbīs al-JahmiyyaIbn Taimiya

They said: “All these consequences and this entire classification arise from judgments of supposition and imagination. Matters concerning divine Lordship cannot be judged on that basis, as this system-builder has already explained in the introduction to his book.”

Undoubtedly, this statement of theirs is sounder than that of their opponents among those who deny the divine attributes. When the latter were told, “The two must be either separate or coincident in location; either one is where the other is, or it is separate from it in direction,” they replied, “Neither this nor that,” thus denying both alternatives. They said that He cannot be perceived by the senses or pointed to physically. They were then told, “This is more insignificant than an indivisible atom.” They replied: “That would follow only if He were a body, or possessed spatial location and magnitude.”
