Reading from the words of the poet: If the Lord of the Throne is truly eternal, *** forever the God of truth, possessing authority,
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The reader: "If the Lord of the Throne is truly eternal, *** forever the God of truth, possessing authority,
Then likewise He has always been speaking, *** indeed doing what He wills, this is His grace.
By Allah, there is nothing in reason that dictates *** rejection, invalidation, or denial of this.
Rather, there is nothing in the conceivable except its affirmation *** for the eternal Creator, the One of grace.
This, and everything below the Supreme is created, *** there is no eternal one other than Him in the worlds."
The Shaykh : This, this.
The reader: "This, and everything below the Supreme is created, *** there is no eternal one other than Him in the worlds.
By Allah, He precedes everything other than Him, *** our Lord and creation are not paired.
Allah was, and nothing else was, *** Exalted is He, the One of great status.
We do not say as the atheist says, *** the infidel, the one with the logic of the Greeks.
That this witnessed world is eternal, *** and souls are from eternity and not perishing.
These are the doctrines of the atheists who *** disbelieved in the Creator of these worlds.
And Ibn Sina came after that, acting as a deceiver *** for the Muslims, and he spoke of possibility."
The student: Deceivers.
The Shaykh : Deceiver.
The student: In the accusative case, not the nominative?
The Shaykh : And Ibn Sina came after that, acting as a deceiver.
The reader: "And Ibn Sina came after that, acting as a deceiver *** for the Muslims, and he spoke of possibility.
But the Eternal is not created, *** He was not non-existent, nor is He perishing.
And he brought a reconciliation between two groups, *** between whom are wars, and they are not safe.
How can the Muslims"
The Shaykh : How can... the alif is elongated.
The student: No, a short alif.
The Shaykh : A short alif.
The reader: "How can the Muslims and the followers of the Greeks"
The Shaykh : And the followers of the *** Greeks.
The reader: "How can the Muslims and the followers of the *** Greeks ever be reconciled in faith".
The Shaykh : And "wa" (and), where did you get to?
The student: I got to: "And the evidences of events are apparent for *** this created world by proof".
The Shaykh : That is, good.
Then likewise He has always been speaking, *** indeed doing what He wills, this is His grace.
By Allah, there is nothing in reason that dictates *** rejection, invalidation, or denial of this.
Rather, there is nothing in the conceivable except its affirmation *** for the eternal Creator, the One of grace.
