The Shaykh :"And for this reason, when Allah (Blessed and Exalted is He) mentioned the creation of the heavens and the earth, He said: [At-Talaq 65:12]" I wish the author had mentioned the beginning of the verse, [At-Talaq 65:12] meaning He informed you of that, [At-Talaq 65:12] and had it not been for His power, He would not have created, [At-Talaq 65:12] and had it not been for His knowledge, He would not have created. So understand this rule, for it is important.
The names of Allah (Blessed and Exalted is He) indicate the Essence and the Attribute by direct indication (dalalat al-mutabiqah), and the Essence alone or the Attribute alone by inclusive indication (dalalat al-tammin), because they indicate a part of the meaning, and something external to it by implication of commitment (dalalat al-iltizam). Therefore, it is possible for us to attribute to Allah, from His name al-Khaliq (The Creator) (Mighty and Majestic), the attribute of creation, and this is clear, as well as the attribute of knowledge, the attribute of will, and the attribute of power. All of this is by implication of commitment.
so you may know that Allah is over all things competent and that Allah has encompassed all things in knowledge.
لتعلموا أن الله على كل شيء قدير وأن الله قد أحاط بكل شيء علماًIt is Allah who has created seven heavens and of the earth, the like of them. [His] command descends among them so you may
اللَّهُ الَّذِي خَلَقَ سَبْعَ سَمَاوَاتٍ وَمِنَ الْأَرْضِ مِثْلَهُنَّ يَتَنَزَّلُ الْأَمْرُ بَيْنَهُنَّ لِتَعْلَمُواso you may know that Allah is over all things competent
لتعلموا أَنَّ اللَّهَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌand that Allah has encompassed all things in knowledge.
