These are real attributes befitting Him, Glory be to Him. As for sadness, Allah Almighty is not described by it, because there is no mention of Him being described as such in the Quran or the . Allah is only described by what He has described Himself with or what His Messenger, peace and blessings be upon him, has described Him with.
