Summary of Sunni concepts
Sometimes knowledge of the Most Beautiful Names of God and His Sublime Attributes
Knowledge of God’s names and attributes produces great effects and great fruits
Whether it is in the apparent actions of the slave
Or his inner heartfelt worship
From that is what follows
Firstly
Increased faith and certainty
The more the servant increases his knowledge of the names and attributes of God
His faith and certainty in God increased
This knowledge is like food for the soul
It also produces heart health and recovery from diseases
Secondly
And the servant’s knowledge of God’s majesty and greatness
His submission to Him, Glory be to Him, will bear fruit
And his submission to him and his love
Third
Knowing that God hears and sees
He knows the deceitfulness of the eyes and what the breasts hide
Not even an atom's weight is hidden from Him in the heavens and the earth
All of this produces in him fear of God and piety in secret and in public
He guarded his tongue and limbs from everything that displeased his Lord
And etiquette is with Him, Glory be to Him, and life is from Him
Fourth
The servant knew that the Lord, Glory be to Him, was unique in causing harm and benefit
And giving, and giving, and creation, and sustenance
Revival and death
All of this results in his inner servitude and trust in God
And its accessories are apparent
Fifth
The servant learned of God’s wealth, generosity, and presence
His righteousness, benevolence, and mercy
All of this requires him to have ample hope for what God has
VI
Likewise, the servant knows that God Almighty has the attributes of perfection and majesty
His insight into the extent of his own faults, shortcomings, and defects
So he quits it as much as possible
He is not arrogant or angry
He does not envy anyone for what God has given him of His grace
The bottom line
Every attribute is one of the attributes of God Almighty
Its great effects on the servant and his worship
Some of this can be detailed in separate concepts later
