(Explanation of the attributes of wisdom, love, and mercy through rational evidence) And it is said: “Direct observation has witnessed that He is *** the possessor of wisdom, care, and tenderness, along with mercy and love for His servants ***”
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh :“And it is said: Direct observation has witnessed that He is *** the possessor of wisdom, care, and tenderness,
along with mercy and love for His servants, *** the people of loyalty and the followers of the Qur'an.
And for that reason, they were singled out for karamah (a miracle granted to a righteous person), unlike the enemies of Allah and the followers of disbelief. "
The author (may Allah have mercy on him) means to say:
It is said that direct observation has witnessed that He is the possessor of wisdom. That is, Allah is the possessor of wisdom. He intended to establish the wisdom of Allah through rational evidence. We witness the great wisdoms and noble purposes in the created things, and we also witness the great wisdoms and noble purposes in the matters that Allah has legislated. And this indicates what? It indicates the establishment of wisdom for Allah, even though they deny wisdom. So, direct observation has also witnessed that He is the possessor of care and tenderness. He is the possessor of care for His creation and tenderness toward them, by what He brings them of good and benefit and repels from them of evil and harm. And this indicates His (Glorified and Exalted is He) care and tenderness. He also says:
“along with mercy and love for His servants”
The evidence indicates to us the mercy of Allah, by what we witness of His subtleties in places of hardship. For this indicates His (Glorified and Exalted is He) mercy. Also, love for His servants, the people of loyalty. How do we know that He loves the servants, the people of loyalty? By rewarding them, facilitating their affairs, helping them against their enemies, and other such things.
Then he said, and this is the evidence for us:
“And for that reason, they were singled out for karamah over the *** enemies of Allah and the partisans of disbelief”
along with mercy and love for His servants, *** the people of loyalty and the followers of the Qur'an.
And for that reason, they were singled out for karamah (a miracle granted to a righteous person), unlike the enemies of Allah and the followers of disbelief. "
