FOOTNOTES:

[1] A mulhid is someone who commits ilhaad regarding the Names and Attributes of Allaah, by either rejecting them outright, or by twisting their meanings in ways not befitting to Allaah. Ilhaad also includes naming Allaah with names that He has not used for Himself. See Exemplary Principles of Shaykh Ibn 'Uthaymeen (p.49-50). The word "mulhid" could also be translated as "disbeliever" or "rejecter" in this passage, and Allaah knows best.

[2] Soorah al-A'raaf [7:180]

[3] Soorah Fussilat [41:40]

[4] Soorah al-Baqarah [2:284]

[5] There are over 35 Quranic passages with these or very similar wordings! See: 2:20, 106, 109, 148, 259, 284, 3:26, 29, 165, 189, 5:17, 19, 40, 120, 6:17, 8:41, 9:39, 11:4, 16:77, 18:45, 22:6, 24:45, 29:20, 30:50, 33:27, 35:1, 41:39, 42:9, 46:33, 48:21, 57:2, 59:6, 64:1, 65:12, 66:8, 67:1, 85:16. (As listed in this article.)

[6] Notice the shaykh mentions knowledge in this example. He likely intended to show how clearly unacceptable it would be to claim that Allaah does not know everything, and someone claims to know some things Allaah does not know! So similarly, any Attribute of Allaah that He has affirmed for Himself, like Knowledge, Ability, or anything else, may not be restricted, limited, or specified by rationale or philosophy. And Allaah knows best.

[7] From the authentic hadeeth of Huthayfah foretelling the people of deviation and their tribulations to be faced by people in later times (meaning): "There will be callers at the gates of Hell, and they will cast anyone who responds to them into it..." It was collected by Al-Bukhaaree (no.7084) and Muslim (no.1847).
