Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : May Allah reward you. If the one who denies the divine attributes is asked, "Does Allah, Glorified and Exalted, see us or hear us now?" what does he answer?
The Shaykh : According to their words, they say that Allah, Blessed and Exalted, does not hear with a hearing, nor know with a knowledge.
The student: And does not see?
The Shaykh : And does not see with a sight. So we say: This is unreasonable speech. In reality, it is only flattery and compromise. Otherwise, the truth of your statement is that He does not hear, but you fear the uprising of the common people, so you say: He hears without a hearing, sees without a sight, and speaks without speech, and so on. Yes. Three.
The reciter: In the name of Allah, the Most Merciful, the Bestower of Mercy.
