A Summary of the Discussion on the Fourth Composition

The Shaykh : The summary now is this: regarding this composition, which is the composition of the Essence with the Attributes, we first deny that it is a composition, because the described entity does not become multiple due to the multiplicity of its attributes. No rational person believes that the described entity becomes multiple when it is described with multiple attributes. For example, if we say Zayd is hearing, is he one? If we say he is seeing, does he become two? If we say he is powerful, does he become three? Absolutely not; no one holds this view.
Second: even if we hypothetically conceded that this is a composition, is there any obstacle to it? Absolutely not; there is no obstacle. Rather, the Book, the Sunnah, and reason indicate its existence, meaning the existence of an Essence described by the Attributes. This is not considered a composition, and even if you call it a composition, it does not become a composition.
