Deriving the Attributes from Allah's Most Beautiful Names
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh. A questioner says: Is an attribute of Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) derived from every one of the beautiful names of Allah without exception, or is there a distinction in this? I hope you will provide information with examples.
The Shaykh:
There is no distinction in this; rather, every name of Allah has an attribute of Allah derived from it based on the meaning of that name.
The presenter:
Peace be upon you.
The Shaykh:
Al-Sami' (The All-Hearing) establishes the attribute of hearing, al-Basir (The All-Seeing) establishes the attribute of sight, al-'Alim (The All-Knowing) establishes the attribute of knowledge, al-Qadir (The All-Powerful) establishes the attribute of power, and so on.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you,
