Reading from the words of the poet: The evidence has established that the entire creation... to the end of the chapter
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The reader: "The evidence has established that the entire creation is dependent *** upon its Creator, the Most Merciful
No one has ever established the negation of His attributes *** or His being above the One who possesses the worlds
He is One in His description and His being above *** there is no second Lord for the people besides Him
For what meaning do you deny His being above *** and His attributes with falsehood and nonsense
This is so, and the only thing to be feared is that it be said *** alongside the God, there is a second God for us
Or that He be denied of His attributes of perfection *** these are two things to be feared and prohibited
But if it is said, One Lord *** whose attributes exceed calculation
And He is the Everlasting, so He has not ceased with His attributes *** being One, rather He is constant in His goodness
So by what proof did you deny this and say *** that this is never possible
So if you claim that it is a deficiency, then this *** is a lie, and what is in that is no deficiency
A lie?
The Shaykh : Yes, it is a lie
The reader: "So if you claim that it is a deficiency, then this *** is a lie, and there is no deficiency in that
Deficiency is in two things: denying His perfection *** or associating a partner with the One, the Most Merciful
Would the attributes of perfection be a deficiency *** in any intellect, that is, or in the Qur'an
Perfection is in the multitude of attributes, not *** in their denial; this is clear proof
Deficiency is nothing but denial, and every deficiency *** its origin is denial, and this is clear explanation
So ignorance is the denial of knowledge, and it is a deficiency *** and injustice is the denial of justice and goodness
One who diminishes the Most Merciful denies His attribute *** truly, Glorified is Allah from any deficiency
And likewise, praising Him by mentioning His attributes *** and thanking and glorifying Him at all times
And for that reason, He made His creation know Him best *** by His attributes, the one who brought the Qur'an
And He has attributes that no one besides Him can count *** not angels nor humans
And for that reason, he praises in the Resurrection, prostrating *** to what the Chosen One sees with his own eyes
With praise of thanks that was not in this world *** to be counted for the duration of ages
And his praise is by His attributes, not by denial *** as is said of the one who lacks knowledge
The Shaykh : He says:
The reader: "And his praise is by His attributes, not by denial *** as is said of the one who lacks knowledge
And intellect indicates that the entire creation ends *** with a Lord of great status
And the establishment of attributes of perfection for His essence *** does not ..
The Shaykh : The establishment
The reader: "And the establishment of attributes of perfection for His essence *** does not necessitate the invalidation of this proof
And the creation testifies that its Creator, the Exalted *** is the One of perfection and constant dominion
And likewise, it testifies that He, the Exalted, is above *** existence and above every place
And likewise, it testifies that He, the Exalted, is the *** worshipped, and nothing of the worlds is
And likewise, it testifies that He, the Exalted, is the One *** of wisdom in the utmost precision
The Shaykh : Possessor of power... over it
The student: Living, All-Knowing
The Shaykh : Yes, Living, All-Knowing, constant in His goodness...
The reader: "And likewise, it testifies that He is the One of power *** Living, All-Knowing, constant in His goodness
And likewise, it testifies that He is the Doer, truly *** every day our Lord is in a matter
And likewise, it testifies that He is the Chooser in *** His actions, truly, without denial
And likewise, it testifies that He is the Living, for whom *** the dead have no dominion
And likewise, it testifies that He is the Self-Subsisting, standing *** by Himself and establishing the possessor of the worlds
And likewise, it testifies that He is the One of mercy *** and will and love and tenderness
And likewise, it testifies that He, the Exalted, is the Speaker *** by the revelation and the Qur'an
And likewise, it testifies that He, the Exalted, is the Creator *** the raiser of these bodies
Do not make it a witness by falsehood and denial *** that is the testimony of invalidity
And if you reflect on existence, you will see it *** if you are not from the group of the blind
By the testimony of affirmation, truly established *** for Allah, not by the testimony of denial
And likewise, the messengers of Allah testify to it *** also, so ask about it a knowledgeable person of the time
And likewise, the books of Allah testify to it *** also, so this is the clear Qur'an
And likewise, the innate dispositions that have not changed *** from their original creation by a second command
And likewise, the enlightened intellects in which *** are the lamps of divine guidance
Do you see that we are leaving all this *** for the testimony of the Jahmi and the Greek
These are the witnesses, so if you seek a witness *** other than them, it will stand after a time
When this dust clears, the clear truth will appear *** seen with the eyes
So if you deny and say that it is *** necessitated by composition, who will bind me
If I say you have no intellect nor hearing, and I *** call out to you with the adhan
Does the necessitated become the very necessitating *** that is denied? This is clear invalidity
So a thing is not denied for itself by *** a sound intellect, O you who have knowledge
You said you denied His attribute and His being above *** out of fear of composition and possibility
If He were described, He would be composed *** so description and composition are united
Or if He were above the Throne, He would be composed *** so being above and composition are agreed
So you denied composition by composition, while *** changing one of the two words with a second
Rather, the form of the proof has become a shape *** that is sterile, this is not a proof
If He were described, He would be likewise described *** and this is the essence of the proof
So if you make the word composition, by *** its correct meaning, a sign of invalidity
We come to the meaning and extract it from *** it and discard it with a lowly discard
It is a word, abhorrent, innovative, *** condemned by us with every tongue
And the word by tawhid we make a place *** for the word by composition, by explanation
And the word by tawhid is more worthy of purity *** and of elevation for one who has two ears
This is tawhid with the messengers, not *** with the followers of Jahm, the sect of disbelief
No one has ever established the negation of His attributes *** or His being above the One who possesses the worlds
He is One in His description and His being above *** there is no second Lord for the people besides Him
For what meaning do you deny His being above *** and His attributes with falsehood and nonsense
