Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This phrase was read: “He breathed into him of His spirit,” meaning of His command. Does this not count as a figurative interpretation (ta'wil) of this attribute? No.
Answer:
No, my brother. What is breathed into him is the spirit, which is a created spirit, not one of the attributes of Allah (Mighty and Majestic). It is not possible for a created being to contain anything of the essence of Allah (Mighty and Majestic). That is the intent. For example, “the Spirit of Allah” regarding Isa does not mean the Spirit of Allah that is one of His attributes (Glorified and Exalted is He), but rather His created spirit which Jibril sent and breathed into Maryam, the created one. Yes.
