Question:
What is the superstition regarding the name and the attribute? For example, if Allah was Al-'Alim (All-Knowing) and Al-Qadir (All-Powerful), is Al-Qadir a name that you derive from this verse?
Answer:
Al-Qadir is a name, there is no doubt about that, and Al-Sami' (The All-Hearing) is a name, and Al-Basir (The All-Seeing) is a name, but an attribute is derived from it: from Al-Qadir, the attribute of power (qudrah) is derived; from Al-Sami', the attribute of hearing (sam') is derived; and from Al-Basir, the attribute of sight (basar) is derived. Yes.
