Question:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: In the saying of Allah the Exalted,[Al-Waqi'ah 56:64], are the sowers one of the names of Allah?
Answer:
From the perspective of creation, it is Allah who creates the crops and makes them grow, and it is not said that Allah is a planter. None of the names of Allah are established except those by which He named Himself or by which His Messenger named Him. You do not take a name from every verse or hadith as one of the names of Allah until you see whether it is transmitted from Allah or from His Messenger, and then you establish it.
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: In the saying of Allah the Exalted,
Is it you who makes it grow, or are We the grower?
