What is the difference between the Beautiful Names of Allah and His Attributes, what is the definition of each, and what are the Beautiful Names of Allah and the Attributes that were mentioned in the Holy Quran?
The attributes mentioned in the Holy Quran include those derived from the Beautiful Names of Allah, such as "Al-Ahad" (The One), which signifies perfection and the negation of procreation. Other attributes relate to Allah's essence, such as the attributes of the Face, Hands, Eyes, Self, Speech, and Companionship (Ma'iyyah). There are also verb-derived attributes not derived from the Names, such as "Istawa" (Ascension), "Majie" (Coming), "Rida" (Pleased), "Mahabbah" (Love), "Ghadab" (Anger), "Sakhat" (Displeasure), "Ajab" (Wonder), "Kurh" (Dislike), and "Muharaba" (Waging war). Additionally, there are attributes used for requital and retribution, from which it is not permissible to derive names for Allah, such as "Mukhad'ah" (Deception), "Makr" (Cunning), "Nisyan" (Forgetfulness), "Istihza'" (Mockery), "Kayd" (Plotting), and "Sukhriyah" (Ridicule).
