What is meant by “cattle that our hands have made”?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The verse... [Ya-Sin 36:71] What is the intended meaning?
The Shaykh : The verse...[Ya-Sin 36:71] What is the intended meaning?
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : If Allah (Mighty and Majestic) means Himself, then Allah (Mighty and Majestic) has two hands, and we do not know their modality here. Or it may mean among His creation the angels, whom He entrusted to create, by His command, whatever our Lord (Mighty and Majestic) wills of creation. In that case, there is no problem if the hands are the doing of Allah (Mighty and Majestic). There are many verses and hadiths that Allah (Mighty and Majestic) has hands, without asking how an attribute is or likening Allah to creation. And if the hands intended here are the hands of the angels, then the matter is easier in that case. Peace be upon you.
