Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, regarding the saying of Allah the Exalted[Al-Mu'minun 23:91], is this what is called the proof of mutual exclusion?
Answer:
Yes, it is as Imam Ibn al-Qayyim mentioned, and as he transmitted in his commentary on the Tahawiyyah, that this is the proof of completeness. And likewise His saying, the Exalted:[Al-Anbya 21:22]
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, regarding the saying of Allah the Exalted
Allah has not taken any son, nor has there ever been with Him any deity. [If there had been], then each deity would have taken what it created, and some of them would have sought to overcome others.
مَا اتَّخَذَ اللَّهُ مِن وَلَدٍ وَمَا كَانَ مَعَهُ مِنْ إِلَٰهٍ إِذًا لَّذَهَبَ كُلُّ إِلَٰهٍ بِمَا خَلَقَ وَلَعَلَا بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَىٰ بَعْضٍAnswer:
Yes, it is as Imam Ibn al-Qayyim mentioned, and as he transmitted in his commentary on the Tahawiyyah, that this is the proof of completeness. And likewise His saying, the Exalted:
Had there been within the heavens and earth gods besides Allah, they both would have been ruined
لَوْ كَانَ فِيهِمَا آلِهَةٌ إِلَّا اللَّهُ لَفَسَدَتَا
