One way is that of salaf (which is) to take this (sifaat) on its literal meaning, and to relegate the true nature of meaning to the knowledge of Ilahi (Allah), and do not decide any modality of it, and the second way is that of khalaf (which is) to do apropriate ta'weel in it (issues of sifaat), so that the misguided sects (like) mushabbiha and mujassemah do not give them wrong meaning.
