Concerning the Divine Attributes

He possesses a hand, a face, and a nafs (self), just as Allah, exalted is He, has mentioned in the Quran. Whatever Allah has spoken of in the Quran—the face, the hand, and the self—are His attributes, without asking how. One must not say that His hand means His power or His favor, for that would nullify the attribute; such a claim is the position of the Qadariyya and the Muʿtazila. Rather, His hand is an attribute of His, without ascribing to it a modality. Likewise, His anger and His pleasure are two of Allah’s attributes, without asking how.
