The Ruling on the Tasbih of the Name of Allah the Exalted
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, a questioner says: In the saying of Allah the Exalted,[Al-A'la 87:1], do we glorify Allah or do we glorify His Name? And is the Name the very thing named?
Answer:
Whoever tasbih the Name of Allah has tasbih Allah. Because the Names of Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, and the Attributes of Allah are attached to His Essence, Glorified and Exalted is He.[Al-A'la 87:1] [meaning He is free from all imperfections]. This is a refutation of those who engage in ta'wil (figurative interpretation) of the Names and Attributes; they did not tasbih them, but rather they interpreted them figuratively and belittled them. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you
