The questioner:
The questioner asks: Are al-Jalil, al-Qarib, and al-Mujib among the names of Allah the Exalted?
The Shaykh:
They are among His attributes: He is Majestic, He is Near, and He is the One who responds. As for naming Him with them, that is only established if there is evidence for it. Yes.
The questioner:
The questioner asks, may Allah bless you: Why is the crescent placed on the minarets?
The Shaykh:
Take note: An attribute is derived from every one of Allah’s names. For example, from al-Rahman, mercy is derived; from al-Aziz, might is derived; from al-Karim, generosity is derived. An attribute is derived from every one of Allah’s names, but not the other way around; it is not the case that a name is derived from every attribute. Be mindful of this. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
