For example,<em> al-Qaadir, al-Aleem, al-Hakeem, al-Baseer. <\/em>Verily theses Names indicate the essence of Allah and knowledge about what they establish in terms of\u00a0knowledge, wisdom, hearing, and seeing.<\/p>\n<p>As for the Attributes of Allah, then they are complete descriptions that are established by the essence. By knowledge, wisdom, hearing, seeing. <strong>So a Name of Allah indicates two things and an Attribute indicates only one thing.<\/strong> So it is said: A Name includes an Attribute and an Attribute requires a Name. It is obligatory to have faith in everything established about them from Allah or from his Prophet (\ufdfa) in a form befitting Allah, the Exalted, along with faith that He does not resemble His creation in anything from His Attributes. Just as He does not resemble them in His essence.
