The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, in the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), “Allah made mercy,” the word “made” (ja‘ala) means “created.”
The Shaykh:
Allah.
The questioner:
Allah made mercy.
The Shaykh:
There is a mercy that is among the attributes of Allah (Mighty and Majestic) which is not created, and there is a created mercy. So rain is from the mercy of Allah (Mighty and Majestic), and Paradise is the mercy of Allah. He said: So which mercy is created? It contains a created mercy, and it contains a mercy that is an attribute among the attributes of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He), by which He shows mercy to His servants. Yes.
