Another example of the name of Allah, al-Khalaq (the Creator), regarding its three implications

Shaykh Muhammad ibn Salih al-‘Uthaymeen

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : All right. Al-Khalaq, apply it to the rule:
The student: It indicates the Self of Allah (Mighty and Majestic) and the attribute of creation; this is a direct implication.

The Shaykh : Yes.
The student: And it indicates the Self of Allah alone as an inclusive implication. And it indicates the attribute of creation alone: an inclusive implication.

The Shaykh : Yes.
The student: And it indicates the power of Allah (Mighty and Majestic).

The Shaykh : And His knowledge. It indicates His knowledge and His power.
The student: ... an implied implication.

The Shaykh : An implied implication. Is that right? Yes, an implied implication. Allah (Mighty and Majestic) said:
It is Allah who has created seven heavens and of the earth, the like of them. [His] command descends among them so you may know that Allah is over all things competent and that Allah has encompassed all things in knowledge. اللَّهُ الَّذِي خَلَقَ سَبْعَ سَمَاوَاتٍ وَمِنَ الْأَرْضِ مِثْلَهُنَّ يَتَنَزَّلُ الْأَمْرُ بَيْنَهُنَّ لِتَعْلَمُوا أَنَّ اللَّهَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ وَأَنَّ اللَّهَ قَدْ أَحَاطَ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عِلْمًا
[At-Talaq 65:12]
meaning: We have informed you that We created the heavens and the earth
so you may know that Allah is over all things competent and that Allah has encompassed all things in knowledge. لِتَعْلَمُوا أَنَّ اللَّهَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ وَأَنَّ اللَّهَ قَدْ أَحَاطَ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عِلْمًا
[At-Talaq 65:12]
because if there had been no knowledge, there would have been no creation, and if there had been no power, there would have been no creation. So, is the implication of creation regarding knowledge and power an implied implication? It is an implied implication because knowledge and power are not derived from creation; that is, they are not derived from creation. And for this reason, the implied implication is distant from derivation; that is, from the derivation from the word that indicated it.
