Affirming names for Allah derived from the attributes
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh. A questioner says: Are there any names for Allah that are not established by an explicit text, derived from the attributes, on the condition that the attribute contains no deficiency?
Answer:
Allah is not named except by what He named Himself with, or by what His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) named Him with. Therefore, no name is affirmed for Allah for which one has not found evidence of it by knowledge. This is speaking about Allah without authority. Is it not the case that only what the Noble Qur'an and the Sunnah of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) indicate is affirmed for Allah in terms of names and attributes? Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you,
