Description

In this deep dive, Ali and Fatima explore two major frameworks that Islamic scholars use to understand the attributes of Allah: the distinctions between Sifat al-Jamal (beauty) and Sifat al-Jalal (majesty), and between Sifat al-Dhat (essential attributes) and Sifat al-Fi’l (attributes of action).

These frameworks aren't just theological classifications they help believers deepen their understanding of who Allah is, and how He interacts with creation.

Join us as we break down these concepts and reflect on what they reveal about Allah’s perfection, transcendence, and will. What does it mean for God to be both timeless in essence and active in time? Let’s unpack this together.
