As for useful knowledge in this matter, we say that just as He, Glory be to Him, does not resemble anything, likewise things do not resemble Him. The rational and legal evidence has been established to deny the resemblance and to prove transcendence through meaning, and what remains to be done is to apply the word to Him, Glory be to Him, who has permitted us to apply it to Him in the Qur’an or On the tongue of His Messenger, as for giving it to him, it is not without the exception that either the servant is commanded to do so, so his release is an obligatory obedience, and the one who utters it is rewarded and obedient, like his saying in the opening takbeer, “God is Great,” which is a word whose weight requires differentiation, and He is Glory be to Him .
