Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Your Eminence, father, the questioner asks: Are attributes derived from the names? And are names derived from the attributes? And what is the difference between the names and the attributes?
Answer:
This rule, as I mentioned in the book al-Qawa'id al-Muthla and others, is that every name of Allah has an attribute derived from it; an attribute is derived from it, not the other way around. So attributes are derived from the names, not that names are derived from the attributes. Yes.
