Lesson 41:

[THE POSITION OF AHLUS SUNNAH REGARDING THE AHADEETH THAT AFFIRM THE DIVINE ATTRIBUTES]

There are more ahadeeth like these in which the Messenger of Allah ﷺ narrated about his Lord whatever he related.

The Saved Sect, Ahlus Sunnah wal-Jama'ah, believe in these ahadeeth just as they believe in what Allah informed us of in His Book. They do so without distorting (tahreef), denying (ta’teel), questioning how (takyeef) or likening (tamtheel).

Rather, they take a middle path that is between the extremes found amongst the various sects of this Ummah, just as this Ummah is the middle-course amongst the various nations.
