The questioner:
The Shaykh’s issue is Allah’s saying: “And they made [angels] daughters of Allah… Do you not love that Allah should forgive you?” This is not among the virtues.
The Shaykh:
It revolves around the phrase at the end: “Do you not love that Allah should forgive you?” In it, Allah is described as One who forgives. Allah is the Forgiving, the Merciful. He describes people with forgiveness and mercy, and His name is the Forgiving, the Merciful. This is the intended point.
