Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh! Some sects deny some of the attributes of the Lord, Exalted is His status, namely anger and pleasure, and they argue that every event has a cause. Please inform us, may Allah reward you?
Answer:
Yes, every event has a cause, and there is no doubt in that. But what is the evidence for preventing the description of Allah with the pleasure of His Lord? Allah described Himself as being pleased and as being angry. How can you deny what Allah has affirmed for Himself, thereby attributing a limit to Allah, Mighty and Majestic, and contradicting the words of Allah, Mighty and Majestic? Yes, and Allah the Exalted knows best, and may Allah send prayers and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad, the Knower of the truth of all of this.
