What Is the Ruling on Debating About the Essence of Allah?

38- Discussing the Essence of Allah Almighty

It is not right to go deep into discussion about the blessed essence of Allah Almighty, because it is impossible to know the reality of Allah Almighty. Whoever tries to attain it will end in ruin and wretchedness. Yes! It is right to reflect on the names and attributes of Allah Almighty, as Allah Almighty says:

وَلِلَّهِ الْأَسْمَاءُ الْحُسْنَى فَادْعُوهُ بِهَا وَذَرُوا الَّذِينَ يُلْحِدُونَ فِي أَسْمَائِهِ سَيُجْزَوْنَ مَا كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ

“And the most beautiful names belong to Allah alone, so call upon Him by them, and leave those who deviate from the straight path concerning His names; they will soon be recompensed for what they used to do.”
