The Meaning of Allah's Command Between the Kaf and the Nun
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: I used to make this supplication, which is, "O He whose command is between the kaf and the nun." A person objected to me and said, "No, His command is after the kaf and the nun." Is his objection correct?
Answer:
No, it is not correct. It is "between the kaf and the nun," which is "Be," as He, (Exalted and Majestic is He), said, "Be."[Ya-Sin 36:82] This objection is out of place.

Answer:
No, it is not correct. It is "between the kaf and the nun," which is "Be," as He, (Exalted and Majestic is He), said, "Be."
His command is only when He intends a thing that He says to it, "Be," and it is.
إِنَّمَا أَمْرُهُ إِذَا أَرَادَ شَيْئًا أَن يَقُولَ لَهُ كُن فَيَكُونُ
