Using the term "the Maker" for Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He)
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh:
And our Lord, we must be good. Yes.
The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, regarding the Shaykh (may Allah have mercy on him) using the term "the Maker" for Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He).
The Shaykh:
This is from the perspective of description, because created things are called "made things." It is said,[An-Naml 27:88], the created things are the work of Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He). The term "the Maker" is derived from "making" as a description, not as a name. Is "the Maker" not one of the names of Allah?

صُنْعَ اللَّهِ الَّذِي أَتْقَنَ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ
