The Shaykh reviewing the lesson with the students.
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : We have previously established that if an attribute is a perfection with no deficiency in it, what do we do? Do we affirm it or not? There is no deficiency in it, is there?
The student: We affirm it.
The Shaykh : We affirm it. What example did you not attend to? How can you neglect these important rules? Yes, is that so?
The student: The attribute of life.
The Shaykh : Yes, the attribute of life and others. Yes, good. And if it is a deficiency?
The student: ... .
The Shaykh : You were not present. It is impossible for Allah, such as preceding. Oh Salim, may Allah guide you, there is a space in front of you... Yes.
The student: Such as sleep, forgetfulness, and inability.
The Shaykh : If it is a perfection in one state but not in another, He is described by it in the state where it is a perfection and not described by it in the state where it is a deficiency. We mentioned examples and discussed them previously. It remains, I think, the evidence.
