Salafis will have you thinking they keep to the text/naql, whereas it is their scholars rejecting eternity of hell (Ibn Taymiyah and Ibn Qayim) and using Mu'tazili-esque arguments. Both the falsafa and Mutazila hate the Asharis for a reason, Asharis uphold the scripture holistically.
@@africandawahrevival have you come across them stating that it's possible for god to oppress the creation but he just chooses not to? This was another position they adopted from the Mu'tazila.
@@ShaykhHarounKanj Muslim Lantern also said the same thing. God can oppress creation but choose not to. But Ashari will says, that is in the realm of impossibility, as Allah will never act contradict to his Divine Attribute. The way they antagonize Ashari are ravenous.
100% if you bring the entirety of the Qur'an and Sunnah and not just cherry pick, the Asharis will come out on top 😎, they even have stronger hermeneutical approach, just like the 4 schools of Fiqh trumps the salafi weak usool.
These naive people (Salafis) do Taweel and everything they accuse us of, they just won't call it Taweel, every majaz is haqiqa to them, a spatially extended thing is a body, but they refuse to call it Jism, as if that helps. Sad
Jake is right. You don’t understand his critique. You think the apparent meaning is identical to literal meaning. Where did you get this from? Where is ‘literal meaning’ mentioned as a synonym for apparent meaning? It doesn’t exist. You don’t even affirm the real meaning of the metaphorical meaning. A metaphor has a real meaning. You don’t even affirm the meaning of a metaphor. You do this because you have accepted Aristotle metaphysical presuppositions.
Identical or not we reject any similarities the only thing that is shared is the name. Our attributes are finite/limted whilst Allah’s are infinite and perfect and do not resemble His creation in anyway.
@ What do you mean by similarities? You claim to affirm REAL attributes for Allah swt. You also affirm REAL attributes for human beings. You have already made a similarity.
