The difference between His saying, the Exalted: "Blessed is the name of your Lord, the Owner of Majesty and Honor," and His saying: "And the Face of your Lord remains, the Owner of Majesty and Honor."
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : And in the end, He said: [Ar-Rahman 55:78] And He said in the middle of the surah: [Ar-Rahman 55:26-27] Here we ask the grammarians why He said: [Ar-Rahman 55:27] and He said: [Ar-Rahman 55:78] Yes.
The student: In His saying, the Exalted[Ar-Rahman 55:27] the attribute is for your Lord.
The Shaykh : How?
The student: The attribute is for your Lord.
The Shaykh : In His saying.
The student: The Owner of Majesty.
The Shaykh : How is the attribute for your Lord when it is "The Owner"?
The student: ... .
The Shaykh :[Ar-Rahman 55:27] .
The student: ... for the Face.
The Shaykh : Yes, indeed, the attribute is for the Face, and the Face is in the nominative case because it is the subject. Good.[Ar-Rahman 55:78].
The student: The attribute is for the Lord.
The Shaykh : The attribute is for the Lord, and it is in the genitive case due to the preposition, so the attribute was "The Owner" (dhi) and not "The Owner" (dhu). Rest. Why? Because the one described with Majesty and Honor is the Face of Allah, Mighty and Majestic. As for His name, it is a name that is not the Owner of Majesty nor the Owner of Honor. The Owner of Majesty and Honor is the Lord and the Face of the Lord. And in the verse, it affirms an attribute of Allah, which is the Face.
The student: The Face is for Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He.
The Shaykh : The Face is for Allah, Mighty and Majestic. Is there another verse that affirms the Face for Allah?
The student: ... .
The Shaykh : There is, but it is not mentioned. Good. The affliction of knowledge is forgetfulness. Rest. Yes.
The student: The saying of Allah, Mighty and Majestic:[Al-Qasas 28:88].
The Shaykh : The saying of Allah, Mighty and Majestic:[Al-Qasas 28:88] Rest. There is a third verse.
The student: Yes.
The Shaykh : Oh Allah, give it to us.
The student:[Al-Baqarah 2:115].
The Shaykh :[Al-Baqarah 2:115] Good.
Blessed is the name of your Lord, Owner of Majesty and Honor.
تبارك اسم ربك ذي الجلال والإكرام(26) Everyone upon the earth will perish, (27) And there will remain the Face of your Lord, Owner of Majesty and Honor.
