The Shaykh : In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
We have previously discussed what faith in the names entails.

The Shaykh : No, what are the names and attributes in terms of what faith in the name entails?
The student: Establishing the name for Allah (Blessed and Exalted is He), establishing the attribute of this name, which is an attribute of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He).
The Shaykh : Which attribute?
The student: The attribute of this name, what this name entails for Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He), and establishing the rulings.
The Shaykh : The rulings that follow from that, absolutely, meaning it is necessary that in every name we believe in these three things, if it is transitive, if it is not transitive?
The student: It necessitates only two things.
The Shaykh : Only two things, which are?
The student: Establishing the name for Allah and establishing the attribute it entails.
The Shaykh : The attribute, okay, like an attribute that is not transitive, like al-Hayy (The Living), yes, explain?
The student: This name is among the beautiful names of Allah, and we believe in what it entails of an attribute, which is the attribute of perfect life.
The Shaykh : And it has nothing to do with the created things. Perfectly, okay, Hajjaj, give an example of a transitive one?
