The Difference Between Praising Allah and Describing Him with Excellence
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
There is a distinction between them. The condition of praise is that it applies to part of the whole. I have not heard the scholars say that the price is the end of what is written in the writing, and not after or a sunnah. Because Allah says, and may Allah send blessings upon
The Shaykh:
Good.
The questioner:
A dispute arose between me and one of the brothers regarding the prayer. When he said "Lord of the worlds," he said "Allah is the Greatest" from my side, and when he said "Allah is the Greatest" from my side, he said "the Greatest" from my side.
The Shaykh:
It is well known that there is no difference between praising Allah and describing Allah with excellence. No, there is no difference between them, because praise is a description of Allah (Mighty and Majestic), so there is no difference between them. However, the difference in expression is from the difference in expression, and the meaning is one. So if you praise Allah, you have described Him. Yes.
