Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner asks: What is the criterion for distinguishing between the name and the attribute of Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He)?
Answer:
There is a clear criterion. The name is what He named Himself with, and the attribute is derived from the name; it is derived from the name. So, hearing is derived from the All-Hearing, and knowledge is derived from the All-Knowing, and so on.
