- Manifestation and descent are divine attributes1.. There is nothing like unto Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, and nothing resembles Him. There is nothing like unto Him and the believer believes in the attributes of Allah, may He be glorified, but they cannot be likened to the attributes of created beings. 2.. There is a difference between manifesting and descending. Manifesting means appearing; what is meant is appearing to people’s eyes.

This descending happens in a manner that is befitting to His majesty. For more details, please see the long answer.1,189
