The questioner : What is the meaning of our saying in the tashahhud: "The blessings are for Allah, and the prayers"?
The Shaykh : "The blessings" means that all forms of glorification are due to Allah (Mighty and Majestic) and exclusive to Allah (Mighty and Majestic), because "blessings" means glorification and honor. Thus, all types of glorification and all types of honor are due to Allah (Mighty and Majestic) and exclusive to Him. "The prayers" means the known prayers are for Allah; one does not pray to anyone other than Allah. "The good things" means the good among the deeds of the children of Adam are for Allah, for Allah is good and accepts nothing but what is good. Likewise, the good things among words, actions, and attributes are all for Allah. So, all of Allah's speech is good, all of His actions are good, and all of His attributes are good. Thus, the good of everything belongs to Allah, and He Himself (Exalted and Majestic is He) is good and accepts nothing but what is good. Yes.
The questioner : May Allah reward you. The questioner says he is from Libya.
