The Fourth Principle: The indication of the names of Allah the Exalted, regarding His essence and His attributes, is by correspondence, by inclusion, and by implication.
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : He said: "The Fourth Principle", and it is one of the most important principles.
"The indication of the names of Allah the Exalted, regarding His essence and His attributes, is by correspondence, by inclusion, and by implication". These are three types of indication: by correspondence, by inclusion, and by implication. Yes.
By correspondence: when the word indicates its entire meaning, considering the word's indication of the whole meaning.
It is by inclusion: and that is the word's indication of the parts of the meaning.
And by implication: the word's indication of a meaning that is external and does not fall under the derivation.
An example of this: if I say, "This is a house," it includes the rooms, the chambers, and the courtyards all together. Its indication of each specific chamber or each specific courtyard is an indication by inclusion, and its indication that it has a builder is an indication by implication, because a builder is necessary.
The camel: this word indicates the entire camel by correspondence, and its hand, or its leg, or its head, or its tail by inclusion.
So, the indication by correspondence is the equality of the word to the meaning, and the indication by implication is the word's indication of a part of its meaning. Inclusion is intentional. The indication by implication is of something external, and the author gave an example of that.
