Worshipping Allah Ta'ala with His attributes
Question
Do we Muslims worship Allah alone or do we worship His attributes too with Him?
Answer
His attributes are not separate from Him. Like your father is your father, but he is kind and generous as well. So you do not respect the being of your father alone, you respect him entirely.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Where scholars differ, it’s safer to take the more cautious view.
