The Ruling on Attributing the Quality of Writing to Allah the Exalted
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner asks: Is writing among the attributes of Allah the Exalted, as mentioned in the hadith: "Your Lord wrote with a pen, so it is with Him"?
Answer:
You say that Allah wrote, as the wording of the hadith states, and you do not change anything. You affirm what came in the hadith without asking whether it is among the attributes of Allah or among His names. Allah has not tasked you with this. And I say to you: leave alone what the righteous Salaf did not record in the creed. Do not add to it from your own minds. Allah has not tasked you with these matters. Yes.
