This book delves into a complex area of Islamic theology, specifically within the Hanbali school of thought. It examines how Hanbali scholars approached the understanding and interpretation of God's divine attributes. Key themes explored include *ithbat* (affirmation of attributes without delving into their 'how' or 'why'), *tafwid* (delegation of the meaning of ambiguous verses to God), and the contentious issue of *hulul al-hawadith* (the indwelling of temporal events in God's essence), which relates to the nature of God's actions and whether they are eternal or occur in time. This study by Alaa Hassan Ismail offers a scholarly analysis of these profound theological debates.
