O my people, the root of your misfortune is names by which the Most Merciful has not sent down any authority (I'rab of Asma')

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : He said:
"O my people, the root of your misfortune is names by which the Most Merciful has not sent down any authority"
Asma': with tanween or without tanween? Without tanween. For the sake of maintaining the meter. However, if there is no necessity, then it is obligatory to use tanween. Allah the Exalted said:
They are not but [mere] names you have named إن هي إلا أسماء سميتموها
[An-Najm 53:23]
But Asma' comes without tanween when the alif in it is for feminization, such as: Asma': the name of a woman. For this reason, some people make a mistake and say: "These people have good Asma'." If he says "These people have good Asma'," the meaning changes greatly. Asma' means? A woman. The result is that Asma' is the plural of Ism, with tanween and movable, but in the author's speech here, it is not tanweened to establish the meter. He says:
"O my people, the root of your misfortune is names by which the Most Merciful has not sent down any authority"
