Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah guide you.

Answer:
Yes. The attribute of being ancient is to affirm it for Allah (Mighty and Majestic). What? The attribute of being ancient. Yes. I mean He is the First. Yes. By this name. And He is ancient; He has always existed, (Glorified and Exalted is He), and it does not burden Him, He is exalted above justice, He has always existed by consensus or... it is a truth, it is necessary that He is ancient and described with this attribute. It is among His names, but in meaning He is ancient, He has always existed, but "the Ancient One" is not among His names according to the correct view, and the name "the Ancient One" has not come in the texts. Good. The saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him): "O Allah..." meaning, praise be to Allah, the little of falsehood, but because the meaning is correct. And I seek refuge in His ancient power. So it reached the power. Yes, if Allah wills.
