Ahlus Sunnah do not touch upon the Sifaat of Allah and leave them as they are, and pass them on as they came without explanation (of the Sifah) without kayf.
In contrast to this person who is translating the Quranic texts and is doing Tahrif of the attributes of Allah by
saying 'Yad' means hand, therefore he has left the way of the people of knowledge by explaining the Sifah i.e. he translated it and took it upon the meaning which he concluded by his own intellect.
The Jahmiyyah distort texts from Allah and replace it with the meaning of
'Qudrah' and therefore say: Allah did NOT CREATE ADAM BI YADAH. They have rejected the Qur'an unlike the Ashā'irah and Māturīdiyyah who do not reject it and pass it (sifah) on as it came without Tahreef and Kayf.
Just in case the person or someone else responds with; the fact I replied to this shows that I myself know that I apparently negate Allah's Sifat.
We, Ahlus Sunnah are not dumb people and we know you use these statements against us through experiences in discussions.

In the issue of Imam Muhammad's statement, the Sifāt are derived from the Qur'an and Sunnah. Hereby, another principal needs mentioning (I also slightly touched upon this before).
- The Sifāt of Allah have different levels of Shubhah, some contain more ambiguity than others. Yet, all are Mutashabih. For example, the Sifaat Aqliyyah are more easily known due to the fact that they are attributes which can not only be known by the Qur'an and Sunnah, rather
they can be known by mere intellect.
For example, the sifah of qudrah. If Allah had no ability, then we would exist. Yet again, we do not know what this attribute actually is while we are clearer about knowing what Allah would carry out with this attribute due to the clearer
Just because a word, term or a phrase was not cited; this does not mean that the concept behind isn't existent.
When we say Allah is Ahad with all His attributes, of course we have derived this from the Qur'an. Allah does not and cannot share a meaning, Kayfiyyah, attribute
action and many more with the creation. This is why the Maturidi and Ash'ari scholars emphasise on the point regarding Tawhīd, that one must acknowledge that Allah is ONE in every aspect. If Allah were to even share 0.001% in any aspect, with His creation, this would
also mean that Allah is still not completely different from His creation and His creation is not completely different from Him.
ليس كمثله شيئ
Nothing is like Him.
So if you apply the meanings of creation to Allah, how are you negating similarity in an entity?
Uthmān bin Sa'īd ad-Dārimī (d. 280) mentions in his 'Radd 'alā al Marīsī':
ولو قدشاء لاستقر على ظهر بعوضة فاستقلتْ به بقدرته ولطفه ربوبيته، فكيف على عرش عظيم؟
„If he [Allah] willed, he would have settled upon the back of a mosquito, thereafter it [mosquito] could take a hold of him [meaning fly him away] by His power and kindness of lordship. So how would [it be with Allah] on the throne?“
Misconceptions of Istighathah and Tawassul - Part 1
[Thread]
Misapplying Qur'anic verses-
One of their arguments is that, as the Qur'an says, the idolators believe in Allah and believe that He is the one Who created the heavens and the earth, but despite this, they worship idols and deify them. They say that Muslims who
believe in Tawassul and Istighāthah are no different to these idolators. The truth is however, that there are three key differences between these idolators and Muslims who believe in Tawassul and Istighathah:
