The answer

It is not permissible to divert the attributes of Allah Almighty from their apparent meaning, which is befitting of Him, except under four conditions. Interpreting the Face of Allah or His Hand as His power is not correct, due to the absence of these conditions. The affirmation of the attribute as a reality does not suffice here, as it is necessary to adhere to the Prophetic hadiths and the narrations of the Salaf.
