Seeking Nearness to Allah the Exalted Through His Attributes

Machine translationRead the Arabic original

The Shaykh : The second section: Seeking nearness to Allah (Mighty and Majestic) through His attributes. Seeking nearness to Allah the Exalted through His attributes includes the famous hadith:

O God, by Thy knowledge of the unseen and Thy power to create, grant me life as long as Thou knowest life to be best for me, and take me when Thou knowest death to be best for me

اللهم بعلمك الغيب وقدرتك على الخلق أحيني إذا علمت الحياة خيرا لي وتوفني إذا علمت الوفاة خيرا لي

Mishkat al-Masabih 2497

So where is the attribute? O Allah, by Your knowledge of the unseen and Your power over creation. It also includes the supplication of istikharah:

Allahumma inni astakhiruka bi'ilmika, wa astaqdiruka biqudratika

اللهم إني أستخيرك بعلمك وأستقدرك بقدرتك

Sahih al-Bukhari 6382

to the end of the hadith.
