39- All the Names of Allah are absolutely Perfect and Magnificent
Q: What should Mu`mins (believers) believe with respect to the Attributes of Allah in a way that their belief is consistent with that of Salaf (the righteous predecessors)?
A: Mu`mins should believe that the Attributes of Perfection belong to Allah Alone (Glorified and Exalted be He) and all His Names are absolutely Perfect and Magnificent. Allah (Glorified and Exalted be He) says: And (all) the Most Beautiful Names belong to Allah Therefore, Mu`mins should believe in the perfection of Allah's Attributes in which there is no shortcoming whatsoever and that none is comparable or similar to Him. Allah (Glorified be He) says: "And there is none co-equal or comparable unto Him." And: "There is nothing like Him; and He is the All-Hearer, the All-Seer." And: "Do you know of any who is similar to Him?" and "Then do not set up rivals unto Allah (in worship))." Every male and female Mu'min should believe that to Allah belongs the absolutely Perfect and Magnificent Names and Sublime Attributes such as, Good Pleasure, Anger, Mercy, Benevolence, Bounty, Generosity, and Glory which are free from any imperfection. They should also believe that Allah is the only One worthy of worship and that He is the Most Wise, the All-Knowing, etc. The Attributes which Allah has ascribed to Himself are Perfect. He (Glorified and Exalted be He) is the All-Knowing, the Most Wise and the Al-Mighty as He has described Himself. To Him belong the most Beautiful Names and their profound and perfect meanings. Nothing is equal, similar, or comparable to Him and for Him is the highest description.
