Names and Attributes of Allaah

Are the verses related to attributes of Allah like hands,throne of Allah,face etc included in Muhakamat or Mutashabihat? What is the ruling on taking their meaning?

There is a post circulating these days claiming that it’s beneficial to use Allah’s names to cure particular disesases/pains. For ex. calling on him using the name AL-Jabbar for thyroid condition and As-Sami for ear pain etc…is there any basis for this in the Sunnah or Hadith? Kindly elaborate…

A friend mentioned that “One” may be improper to translate “Ahad” (in context of the Tawheed of Allah). This is because in the English language, “One” may suggest that there is “Two”, “Three”, etc. He said that it is preferable to say “Alone” instead, because it shows better that “there is no other”.
