The answer

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).
