The questioner:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. This questioner asks: Is it said that Allah's saying "I am the time" is an example of attributing a creation to its Creator?
The Shaykh:
When?
The questioner:
Attributing a creation to its Creator.
The Shaykh:
Regarding the attribution, the phrase "I am the time" is explained by His saying, "I alternate the night and the day." This means that time belongs to Allah; its night and day are under His control, not that time itself controls people. The hadith is clear.
