Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh :"And you would wish that our Lord had not said it *** And His Messenger, sent with the proof"
This means that you wish that Allah had not described Himself with these attributes. This is one of the strangest things: that they are more jealous of Allah than Allah is of Himself, and they dislike that Allah describes Himself with these attributes, fearing, in their claim, that it implies composition.
"And you would wish, by Allah, that it had not been said *** So that it would not enter the hearing of any human"
This means that you wish, first, that Allah had not said it, nor His Messenger, and then you wish, second, that it not enter the hearing of any human, that people not hear it, and that it not reach them.
"The proof has established that the entire creation *** Relies upon its Creator, the Most Merciful"
Yes, this means that the entire creation is in need of Allah (Mighty and Majestic), for He is the Creator who created it. He mentioned "the Most Merciful" because the creation is in need of the mercy of Allah (Mighty and Majestic); were it not for the mercy of Allah, this entire creation would not have come into being.
