Question:
The Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, says: Some exegetes cited these verses, specifically the statement "This is my Lord," as evidence that this is a matter of observation and reasoning.
Answer:
No, no. This is the view of the scholars of kalam (theology). They say that Ibrahim said this while observing, not while debating. Yes. The correct view is that he said it while debating with them, not while observing. This is the talk of the scholars of kalam and logic, and it is a false statement. Ibrahim was upon the fitrah (the innate natural disposition); he did not need to observe the created things. Did he not know Allah in the first place until he looked at these created things? Yes.
