The answer

The effects of God's attributes are manifest in His religious laws and in the universe. For instance, the effect of the attributes Al-Ghafoor (The Forgiving) and Ar-Raheem (The Merciful) appears in His acceptance of a servant's repentance, and the attribute Al-Kareem (The Generous) in multiplying the reward for good deeds.

As for the effects of belief in God's attributes on the servant, they are immense, including: 1. Striving to acquire the praiseworthy characteristics that God loves, such as generosity and mercy. 2. Increasing God's love for the servant, leading the servant to strive to be beloved by God by following His Prophet. 3. Instilling fear of God and His constant watchfulness, causing the servant to monitor their words and actions. 4. Granting hope and preventing despair from God's mercy, pardon, and forgiveness. 5. Teaching the servant that God is capable of all things, and that He is the Overpowering and the Dominant. 6. Motivating the servant to frequently supplicate and appeal to God using His attributes. 7. Increasing the servant's feeling of humility and dependence on God. 8. Giving the servant strength and honor through God, so they humble themselves to none but God. 9. Making the servant adhere to God's law and not dispute His judgment and legislation. 10. Protecting the servant from the cunning of God's enemies and His wrath. 11. Driving the servant to constant remembrance of God and obedience to Him. 12. Granting the servant tranquility and confidence in God's truthful promises. 13. Serving as a test for the servant in affirming the descriptive attributes of God as they were revealed, leading to great success or clear loss. 14. Leading to the glorification and sanctification of God, free from imperfections, and describing Him with perfection. 15. Instilling love and veneration for God, Who neither dies nor neglects. 16. Showing God's exaltedness and His nearness to His servants, which prompts prayer to Him. 17. Making the servant sense the greatness of God's word when reciting it, and prepare for the Day of Judgment.

And every attribute of God has immense fruits and great effects on the servant's faith.
