Discussion of the attributes of power and speech, and clarification that "the Speaker" is a description and not a name of Allah

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : "Al-Qadir" (The Able) is one of the names of Allah, but it also comes in forms like "Muqtadir" (The Possessor of Power) and "Qadir" (The Capable), and the like. "Al-Mutakallim" (The Speaker) is a description, not a name, because speech, what is it? It is divided into idle talk, sin, and good. And Allah (Mighty and Majestic) does not speak except with good. Therefore, we say it is a description and not a name.
"The Possessor of Mercy" It is clear that this is a description; "Dhu" means "the Possessor of." "Mercy, Will, and Compassion" Yes.
