The Meaning of the Poet's Statement: "And the aim is to deny His agency by this epithet, the act of the captivating poet"
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : They said:
"And the aim is to deny His agency by this epithet, the act of the captivating poet"
This aim is that you deny His actions by this epithet. Yes. And it is that events do not exist except through an event. It is known that if we deny that He is an Agent, Mighty and Majestic, it follows that He is paralyzed and does not act. Paralysis is a deficiency. So, in their claim, they escaped from affirming the text but fell into a greater deficiency. Just as if they deny speech, it follows that He is mute. Muteness is a deficiency. Those who affirmed speech but made it internal speech, not actual speech with letters and sound, it has been mentioned previously that Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allah have mercy on him) stated that the Shaykh al-Islam refuted them from ninety angles in a book he named "The Ninety". Yes.
