Discussion with the students regarding the answer to the doubts of the deniers of the divine attributes
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. All praise is due to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and may peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and all his Companions.
First, we ask our brother Shaker: if they say that ascribing a body to Allah or corporeality is a necessary consequence of affirming the attributes, how do we answer? Yes.
The student: ... .
The Shaykh : Fine, it is not necessary. Why? Is it sufficient for us to deny it? Is it sufficient for us to deny it?
The student: ... .
The Shaykh : Leave the question... The question is: is it sufficient for us to deny it? What is it?
The student: ... .
The Shaykh : No, originally it is sufficient, because the one who claims a necessary connection bears the burden of proof. If they say that this is stubbornness, that is the second approach. This is the second approach. The first approach is that we deny it, and we have the right to deny it, because the one who claims a necessary connection is the one who must provide proof. If they insist that it is a necessary consequence and say that your denial is stubbornness because the minds necessarily move from the necessitated to the necessitating, we say: Praise be to Allah, if it is a necessary consequence, then it is a true necessary consequence, and the truth of the necessitating is truth. This is the second approach, because it is impossible for the necessitated to be true and the necessitating to be false, or vice versa. This is one of the most important points, and it has a benefit for debate; it benefits a person in debate if he debates a disbeliever or an innovator. He benefits from this statement.
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
The author (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Thus, it is established that the obligation falls upon the statement of the Messenger and the clear, decisive verses of the Qur'an.
