Denying the attribute of being the Helper to Allah and affirming tenderness
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
For many years, O Shaykh. The denial regarding Allah (Mighty and Majestic) of being the Helper and Supporter, and of love. Thank you for this. Allah the Exalted said:[Muhammad 47:7]. So what happened
The Shaykh:
You support Allah by supporting the commands of Allah and the religion of Allah, or you support Allah in His essence, but He does not need a helper. Rather, you support Allah by supporting His religion and His righteous servants.
The questioner:
Or, may Allah have mercy on him, and tenderness.
The Shaykh:
Tenderness is love. Yes.
The questioner:
I am unable to.
The Shaykh:
Love is established for Allah (Mighty and Majestic), but reporting that He is described with tenderness and love is not a problem. However, the discussion is about affirming the name "Tender" (al-Hannan), or whether everything by which the Lord is described is considered bad, or requires a text. Has it not been established that among His names is "The Tender"? As for tenderness, mercy, and compassion, they are established for Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He).
