As-salamu alaykum,

Check this:
Shuaib Al-Arnaoot on how to approach the names and attributes of Allah


There is no doubt that the topic of Allah's attributes must be considered as one of the greatest and most important topics of the foundations of faith. The views of the Islamicists have differed on this issue. Some of them followed the approach of complete denial of the attributes. Others accepted Allah's names in general but denied the attributes. Some of them accepted both the names and attributes. Some of them accepted both the names and attributes but, at the same time, rejected or gave interpretations for some of them, turning away from their apparent meanings [of the texts found in the Quran and sunnah]. Some of them took the approach that it is obligatory to believe in all of the names and attributes that are mentioned in the Book of Allah and the authentic sunnah. They took them and passed them on according to their plain, apparent meaning. They deny any understanding of their modality (Kaifiyay) and deny any kind of similarity [of those attributes to any other Allah.] The people of this last opinion are those who are called the salaf [pios predecessors] and ahl al-sunnah.

Shuaib Al-Arnaoot, introduction to Zain al-Din al-Maqdisi; Aqaweel al-Thiqaat fi Taweel al-Asma wa al-Sifat wa al-Ayaat al-Muhkamaat wa al-Mushtabihaat.

What do u say? Is the translation an accurate one?
