Imam Shafaee R.A. on Taweel lesson and teaching for present day Muslim


Imam ash-Shafaee has said:

"I believe in what Allah revealed according to the meaning that Allah willed, and in what the Messenger of Allah conveyed according to the meaning that the Messenger of Allah willed."

SO WHAT IS TAWEEL??????????
The word 'ta'weel' is from a-w-l, which means 'to return, to revert,' which implies going back to the original meaning of a word to see what its meanings and connotations are.

The disputed issue of Taweel in Aqeedah is Taweel in some of the attribute of Allah.
Allah has said in quran and in some of the Ahadith sentences like Hands of Allah,Eyes,


What is the meaning of Hand/Eyes of Allah.?

As Allah said in quran

"there is nothing whatever like unto Him, He is the All-hearing, the All-seeing. To Him belongs the keys of the Heavens and the Earth." (42:11-12).

So if someone say that Allah has real Eyes and Limb.
(Then he is resembling with the creation having limb and eyes.And will lead to further questions nauzubillah).

What is the way of Sahaba and Salfus Saliheen on this issue.

Sahaba did not considered this important so they didnot ask any explanation.
If it would have been the important aspect of Aqeedah/belief surely they would have asked.
If they have not asked and explanation is not in hadith that means it is not important rather not permissible to discuss it.
Imam ash-Shafaee has said:

"I believe in what Allah revealed according to the meaning that Allah willed, and in what the Messenger of Allah conveyed according to the meaning that the Messenger of Allah willed."
