Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
This questioner says: In some places, Allah the Mighty and Majestic describes Himself with attributes that contain forms of exaggeration, such as His saying *Ghafar* (The All-Forgiving) and *F'al* (The Doer) and others.
The Shaykh:
And you should know that this is beyond measure. Allah is *Ghafar* (Glorified and Exalted is He); His attributes are not limited, they are not limited, they have no limit, and His actions have no limit (Mighty and Majestic is He). Yes.
The questioner:
That is the end.
The Shaykh:
So He is *Ghafar*, the One who forgives much, and *Tawwab*, the One who accepts repentance much. Yes.
The presenter:
That is the end.
