Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, you mentioned (may Allah preserve you) that the attribute of speech for Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, is an action attribute. So do we say that the essence of the attribute, meaning the attribute of speech, is an essential attribute, but His speaking as He wills, when He wills, and however He wills is an action attribute?
Answer:
My brother, the essence of all attributes is essential. All attributes, not just speech, their actions are essentially essential. Yes.
