Giving names such as engineer and doctor to Allah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Also, we say that Allah is the Greatest. In the matter of the bull, it is not permissible to call this bull or the one who made this bull an engineer.
The Shaykh:
Allah is not named except with what He has named Himself. One does not say "engineer," nor does one say "doctor." This is the statement of some people; Allah is not described with these terms, nor is He named with them, Glorified and Exalted is He.
The questioner:
The first doctor.
The Shaykh:
He says "Creator." Rather, one does not say "engineer"; one says "Creator of this universe" and "Manager of this universe." What is an engineer? Yes.
