Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the position of the people of the Sunnah and the community regarding Allah’s (Mighty and Majestic) encompassing knowledge of creation? Is it correct to limit this to power and compulsion, even though it is stated in general terms in His saying, the Exalted:
Unquestionably He is, of all things, encompassing.أَلَا إِنَّهُ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ مُّحِيطٌ
[Fussilat 41:54]


Answer:
He encompasses creation in knowledge, power, will, and decree, and He encompasses them in all meanings. Yes.
