The Shaykh :"The Creator" indicates the doer and an attribute of the doer? Allah and the attribute of creation.
He says: "It indicates the essence of Allah and the attribute of creation by correspondence, and it indicates the essence alone by inclusion and the attribute alone, which is creation, by inclusion" Now, creation, which is the attribute, necessarily involves knowledge and necessarily involves power, because one who does not know cannot create, and one who does not have the power cannot create.
"Its indication of the meaning of knowledge and power is by implication" because knowledge and power are not indicated by the word in terms of its linguistic derivation. The word, in terms of its linguistic derivation, indicates the Creator and creation, but it does not indicate knowledge and power. Yes, it does not indicate them. Even if we added "will," it would still be by implication, because creation is not possible without knowledge and what? And will and power. The indication of "The Creator" regarding will, yes, regarding knowledge, will, and power, is by what? By implication. How is it implication? Because the word "creation" itself does not indicate will, knowledge, and power. Are you with me? Now, I hope you pay attention, because this is an important issue: the indication of the names of Allah (Blessed and Exalted is He) regarding the essence and the attribute. The indication of the essence and the attribute is by correspondence. Its indication of the essence alone or the attribute alone is by inclusion. Its indication of knowledge, power, and will is by implication. The reason for this is that creation is not possible without knowledge—knowing how to create—and secondly, will, and thirdly, power.
Let us give an example of this regarding the created being. Is it possible for a human to create, meaning to make a door, for example, except after knowing how to make it, and after having the will to make it, and thirdly, after having the power to make it? Otherwise, he would not have made it. This is the implication, as the author says.
