The Shaykh :"Indeed, the one who bequeathed this to them is Pharaoh". "The one who bequeathed this" means denying the attribute of being above. "To them is Pharaoh" means: who bequeathed to them the denial of the attribute of being above? It is Pharaoh. "When the child born of Imran was thrown into it
He is their imam and their guide, followed, leading them to the Fire"
We ask Allah for safety.
"He denied the two attributes, the attribute of being above and the attribute of speaking, in denial of the slander"
He denied the attribute of Allah being above, for he only said to Haman:[Ghafir 40:36] This was by way of mocking Moses in one aspect, and by way of misleading his people in another aspect, for he would say, "I ascended, but I did not find the One you know." So he denied being above. He denied speaking. How did he deny speaking? Because he denied the messengership of Moses, and the messengership of Moses was established by revelation, which is the speech of Allah. So Pharaoh denied being above and speaking. And these people who deny attributes, what did they do? They denied both being above and speaking.
"For his intent was to deny the essence of the Lord, and negation of attributes is a step toward this denial"
Pharaoh intended to deny the essence of the Lord, and the negation of attributes by these people who deny attributes is a step toward this denial, because if you examine the doctrine of these people who deny attributes, its result is that there is no existing Lord. We ask Allah for safety.
He is their imam and their guide, followed, leading them to the Fire"
We ask Allah for safety.
"He denied the two attributes, the attribute of being above and the attribute of speaking, in denial of the slander"
