The Shaykh :"He is the Self-Sufficient in His Essence, so His self-sufficiency is for Him like generosity and kindness"
He is Self-Sufficient in His Essence, needing none of His creations. He does not need anything, whereas others are self-sufficient only through others. A human being is not self-sufficient in his own essence; rather, he needs food, drink, clothing, shelter, and other things. As for Allah, He is Self-Sufficient in His Essence. "so His self-sufficiency is for Him like generosity and kindness"
