Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, regarding His saying, the Exalted:[Maryam 19:65] Is the intended meaning the word of majesty, "Allah"?
Answer:
[Maryam 19:65] The Lord of the heavens has no sense of hearing that resembles His, nor does anyone deserve His name in reality, nor any of His names in reality. As for resembling in the wording, the Most Noble, the King, how similar that wording is, there is no harm. But the meaning differs; the reality differs. Yes.
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, regarding His saying, the Exalted:
Do you know of any similarity to Him?"
هَلْ تَعْلَمُ لَهُ سَمِيًّاAnswer:
Lord of the heavens and the earth and whatever is between them - so worship Him and have patience for His worship. Do you know of any similarity to Him?"
رَّبُّ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا فَاعْبُدْهُ وَاصْطَبِرْ لِعِبَادَتِهِ هَلْ تَعْلَمُ لَهُ سَمِيًّا
