by what they profess publicly. When they are asked, “Whom, then, do you worship?” they say, “We worship the one who directs the affairs of this creation.” We said, “Then the one who directs the affairs of this creation is unknown, with no attribute by which He is known.” They said, “Yes.” We said, “The Muslims have recognized that you affirm nothing. You merely shield yourselves from opprobrium by what you outwardly profess.”

We also said to them, “Is the one who directs these affairs the one who spoke to Moses?” They said, “He has not spoken and does not speak, for speech is only possible through a bodily organ, and bodily organs are denied of Allah.”

When an ignorant person hears their words, he supposes that they are among those who revere Allah Most High the most, unaware that they are only leading their people into error and disbelief.
