Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, this questioner says: Is Allah described with waiting, such that one of them says, "Allah waits for your repentance"?

Only a person who is ignorant waits, whereas Allah is All-Knowing, knowing what was and what will be, and what did not happen, if it had happened, how it would have been. Nothing is hidden from Him.
