The author may Allah have mercy on him mentioned to affirm the attribute of the face of Allah, Exalted, two verses:
الْآيَةُThe first verseالْأُولَىthe firstقَوْلُهُHis saying::﴿[وَيَبْقَىAnd the face will remainوَجْهُthe face ofرَبِّكَyour Lordذُوofالْجَلَالِthe Majesticوَالْإِكْرَامِand the Generous﴾][الرَّحْمَنُ: ٢٧][Ar-Rahman: 27]
The first verse: His saying: "And the face of your Lord, the Majestic and Generous will remain." [Ar-Rahman: 27]
وَهَذِهِAnd thisمَعْطُوفَةٌis connectedعَلَىtoقَوْلِهِHis sayingتَعَالَىExalted::﴿[كُلُّEveryمَنْwhoعَلَيْهَاis upon itفَانٍwill perish**وَيَبْقَىAnd will remainوَجْهُthe face ofرَبِّكَyour Lord﴾][الرَّحْمَنُ: ٢٦ - ٢٧][Ar-Rahman: 26 - 27]
And this is connected to His saying, Exalted: "Every soul shall taste death, and the face of your Lord will remain." [Ar-Rahman: 26 - 27]
وَلِهَذَاAnd for thisقَالَsaidبَعْضُsomeالسَّلَفِof the predecessorsيَنْبَغِيit is appropriateإِذَاifقَرَأْتَyou readكُلُّEveryمَنْwhoعَلَيْهَاis upon itفَانٍwill perish؛;أَنْthatتَصِلَهَاyou connect itبِقَوْلِهِby His saying﴿[وَيَبْقَىAnd the face will remainوَجْهُthe face ofرَبِّكَyour Lord؛;حَتَّىuntilيَتَبَيَّنَit becomes clearنَقْصُthe deficiencyالْمَخْلُوقِof the createdوَكَمَالُand the perfectionالْخَالِقِof the Creatorوَذَٰلِكَand thatلِلْتَّقَابُلِis for the contrastهَذَاthisفَنَاءٌdeathوَهَذَاand thisبَقَاءٌis permanence،,وَكُلُّand allمَنْwhoعَلَيْهَاis upon itفَانٍwill perishوَيَبْقَىand will remainوَجْهُthe face ofرَبِّكَyour Lordذُوis the possessor ofالْجَلَالِthe Majesticوَالْإِكْرَامِand the Generous﴾][الرَّحْمَنُ: ٢٦][Ar-Rahman: 26]
And thus, some of the predecessors said: It is appropriate that if you read: "Every soul upon it shall perish;" you connect it with His saying: "And the face of your Lord will remain;" until the deficiency of the created being and the perfection of the Creator become clear, and that is for the contrast, this is death and that is permanence, and all who are upon it will perish, and the face of your Lord is the possessor of majesty and generosity." [Ar-Rahman: 26]
قَوْلُهُHis sayingتَعَالَىExalted::﴿[وَيَبْقَىAnd will remainوَجْهُthe face ofرَبِّكَyour Lord؛;
His saying, Exalted: "And the face of your Lord will remain;" means it does not perish.

And the face is known in meaning, but its nature is unknown, we do not know how the face of Allah, the Mighty and Majestic; like His other attributes, but we believe that He has a face described with majesty and generosity, and described with beauty, greatness, and great light, until the Prophet, peace be upon him, said: "His veil is light; if it were unveiled, the radiance of His face would burn everything which His sight reaches."
