The Ruling on Describing Allah as al-Qadim (The Ancient)
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "His ancient dominion." Is al-Qadim (the Ancient) among the attributes of Allah (Mighty and Majestic)?
Answer:
This is an attribute of the dominion; the ancient dominion of Allah means His eternal sovereignty, (Glorified and Exalted is He). Allah did not say "Allah al-Qadim." One does not recite "al-Qadim" for Allah; one recites "al-Awwal" (The First), as He named Himself with that. So al-Qadim is not among the names of Allah; rather, al-Awwal (The First) and al-Akhir (The Last) are among His names.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you, and may He bless you. May Allah the Exalted reward you all with good, and may Allah send prayers and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and his Companions.
