The questioner:
The Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, asks: Is it permissible to cite His saying, “And it was made before My eyes,” as evidence for affirming the attribute of eyes for Allah, Glorified and Exalted?
The Shaykh:
“Before My eyes” means before My sight. Yes, it affirms the attribute of eyes, because it is before My sight, and sight does not exist except through eyes. Allah has described Himself as having two eyes, a face, two hands, and other essential attributes.
The presenter:
It is affirmed.
The Shaykh:
“With Our eyes, a ship of Noah, sailing with Our eyes,” meaning under Our sight. Yes.
