Combining the statement "The Best of Creators" with the statement "There is no creator with Allah"
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: What is the reconciliation between the saying of Allah the Exalted,[Al-Mu'minun 23:14], and the author's statement, "There is no creator with Allah, Mighty and Majestic," in Surat al-Dhariyat?
Answer:
"The Best of Creators" does not mean that there are creators alongside Allah. Rather, "Ahsan" (the best) is sometimes used in a sense other than the comparative degree of excellence, such as[Al-Ma'idah 5:50] "The Most Wise of the Wise." This does not mean that anyone shares with Allah in judgment or shares it with Him. Sometimes it is used in a sense other than the comparative degree of excellence, and this is one of those cases. The intended meaning here is not the comparative degree of excellence; "The Best of Creators" is not intended to mean the comparative degree of excellence.
