The Shaykh : In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
We have previously mentioned that the author (may Allah have mercy on him) stated that the Names of Allah the Exalted encompass the attributes and their rulings, and he gave examples of this. Then he mentioned that His attributes indicate His Names, and that the action is connected to both matters, meaning the Names and the attributes. For example, al-Sami' (The All-Hearing) is a Name that indicates hearing, which is an attribute, and the action is hearing, which is called the ruling and is called the effect. Likewise, al-Khaliq (The Creator) indicates the attribute, which is creation, and the action, which is that He creates.
