Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. In the Tafsir al-Jalalayn, regarding the saying of Allah the Exalted, "The Most Merciful, the Bestower of Mercy," it states that this means the One who possesses mercy, and that mercy is the will to do good for His people. What is the position of the people of the Sunnah on this?
Answer:
The will to do good. The will is an independent attribute, and the creation is an independent attribute, so one should not interpret this with that. Al-Jalalayn contains figurative interpretations because he is an Ash'ari. Yes.
