Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Allah has decreed upon you, O honorable companion. He says: I hope for clarification on the correctness of this statement: “When Allah knew that the servants would not carry it with the proper weight, He compelled Himself in eternity to make up for their shortcoming and act on their behalf.”
Answer:
Act on their behalf? I do not know. But Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, praised Himself without a doubt. In the Qur'an, “Alhamdulillah” appears in many surahs. He praised Himself, the Exalted, and extolled Himself. And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Jami` at-Tirmidhi 3493Sahih (Darussalam). So no one praises Allah with the complete praise for His blessings except He, Glorified and Exalted is He. As for the servants, they fall short; no matter how much they praise Him, they are short in His right, Glorified and Exalted is He. Yes.
