Describing Allah as a doctor or an engineer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Or the Shaykh comes, and it is permissible for us to say that Allah is the great doctor of this universe or the engineer of this universe
The Shaykh:
Allah is not named except with what He has named Himself. It is not said "engineer," nor is it said "doctor." This is talk from after Him; Allah is not described with it, nor is He named with it (Blessed and Exalted is He).
The questioner:
The Shaykh's children.
The Shaykh:
One says "Creator" instead of saying "engineer"; one says "Creator of this universe" and "Manager of this universe." What is an engineer? Yes.
