Reading from the words of the compiler: "The truth is that the attribute is not a locus..." to the end of the chapter
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The reader: "So the attribute by actions necessitates the *** comparison of the action with the attributed by proof"
The student: The truth
The Shaykh :"The truth is that the attribute" two lines before
The reader: "The truth is that the attribute is not a locus of *** division; this is what the proof requires
Rather, the locus of division is what has *** subsisted in the Essence of the One, the Most Merciful
So they are, then, two types: attributes and *** actions; this is the division of clarification
So the attribute by actions necessitates the *** comparison of the action with the attributed by proof
Like the attribute by meaning other than actions; *** is there any difference between those two?
And among the wonders is that they refuted *** those who affirmed the names without meanings
That subsisted in the one who is their attribute; this is *** impossible for those with intellects
And they came to the attributes with the name of action, *** saying: "They did not subsist in the One, the Judge
So look at them; they invalidated the very principle *** by which they refuted their opponents' words with a meter
If this is possible, then so is the *** saying of your opponents, for it is possible"
The Shaykh : Repeat, repeat, if it is
The reader: "If this is possible, then so is the *** saying of your opponents, for it is possible
And the attribute by precedence and delay, *** whether worldly or religious, are two types
And both are a real and a *** relative matter, and the example is not hidden from those with intellects
And Allah has decreed all of that with *** precision and perfection from the Most Merciful"
