And Sheikh Yasin Salamah, Allah sanctified his secret, stated:

"It is most proper for the possessors of intellect to solidify the attributes, and there is no path for anyone attempting to negate them; for were it not for the Outward manifestation, the Inward reality would not be recognized, nor would Allah be worshipped."

The Allamah, Sheikh Sulayman al-Ahmad, Allah sanctified his secret, stated:

"It is mandatory to affirm the manifestation of the Essence through the names and attributes, alongside proper transcendence and abstraction from formalization and limitation."

And Sheikh Abd al-Karim Muhammad, Allah sanctified his secret, stated in Al-Ḥujjah al-Bālighah:

"The negation of delineations and forms is fundamentally invalid except after affirming the miracles and powers. For whosoever negates without affirming has hit upon nothing at all; because Allah pointed to His own Essence through His power and His miracles, and He did not manifest the names and attributes except due to the need of the created beings."
