Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
And why does Allah not act with a smile? I mentioned in the saying of Ibn Maryam and the multiplication of the fathers, so let one meet Allah and His acquisition to the principles.
The Shaykh:
Acquisition is like action; acquisition and action, the meaning is one, meaning action. The meaning of the word acquisition is action, just as He, Glorified and Exalted is He, said:[Ghafir 40:17], by what they acquired, He called it revelation, and it is action; it is the action.
The questioner:
Is it permissible to recite the phrase "La hawla wa la quwwata" as a standalone statement?
The Shaykh:
Yes. Just "La hawla," "La hawla wa la quwwata illa billah," do you not complete it? Like the one who says[An-Nisa 4:43] and does not complete the verse. "La ilaha illa Allah." And he says "Wail for the worshippers" and does not complete it. He takes some of the words and leaves some. Yes.
The questioner:
I seek forgiveness from Allah.

O you who have believed, do not approach prayer
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لَا تَقْرَبُوا الصَّلَاةَThe questioner:
I seek forgiveness from Allah.
