Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Your Eminence, father, the questioner asks: Is it correct to say that everything other than Allah is created? Is this phrase correct? And is it permissible to use it? He says: May Allah reward you. Some people say that everything other than Allah is created. He asks: To what extent is this phrase correct? And is it permissible to use it without qualification?

Answer:
Yes, the phrase is correct: everything other than Allah is created. As for Allah, His names, and His attributes, they are not created. Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He), with His names and attributes, is not created; He is the Creator (Glorified and Exalted is He). Among His attributes is His speech, so it is not created, because it is one of the attributes of Allah, and His attributes are not created, just as His essence is not created (Glorified and Exalted is He). Yes.
