Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The reader: In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
"But the saying of Muhammad and al-Jahm in *** the heart of the monotheist, the two do not agree
Unless one is driven out by the other's saying *** So if they agree, they are in conflict
And the people after that are in three groups *** Or a war, or empty and hesitating
So choose for yourself, you will make it"
The Shaykh : Where
The reader: "So choose for yourself where you will place it, then *** And by Allah, I am not the fourth of the persons
Whoever says in denial of the divine attributes is a liar *** With all the messengers of Allah and the Criterion
Indeed, the one who denies the attributes has no god except the *** One carved by thoughts in the minds
And so the god of the polytheists, their hands carved it *** The two are equal in their carving"
The Shaykh : And so, and so the god
The reader: "And so the god of the polytheists, their hands carved it *** The two are equal in their carving"
The Shaykh : In my view, it is carved
The student: ...
The Shaykh : In our view, they carved it
The student: ...
The Shaykh : Huh?
The student: ...
The Shaykh : Yes, indeed, it is carved by the hands, and so the god of the polytheists is carved by the hands.
The reader: "And so the god of the polytheists, their hands carved it *** The two are equal in their carving
But the god of the messengers is He who *** Is above the heavens, the Creator of the universes
By Allah, the one who denies the attributes has attributed every one who *** Came with clear proofs to concealment
And by Allah, there is no one among the messengers who denies the attributes *** Denying the attributes of the One, the Most Merciful
No, and there is no one among the messengers who likens Allah to creation *** May they be far from the lie of the slanderer
So take the guidance from His servant and His Book *** For they are two means to the paths of guidance"
"But the saying of Muhammad and al-Jahm in *** the heart of the monotheist, the two do not agree
