The Shaykh :"And Command and Creation are attributes of His perfection *** He who lacks these, his existence and non-existence are the same"
Command and Creation: Allah mentioned them in His saying:[Al-A'raf 7:54] Creation is creation, and Command is command. So Allah has the Command, and He has the Creation. These are two attributes of His perfection. For this reason, he said: "attributes of His perfection *** He who lacks these, his existence and non-existence are the same", meaning which is more perfect?
The student: His existence.
The Shaykh : His existence, without a doubt.
Command and Creation: Allah mentioned them in His saying:
Unquestionably, His is the creation and the command
ألا له الخلق والأمرThe student: His existence.
The Shaykh : His existence, without a doubt.
