Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : He said, "There is no attribute in the Qur'an that clear reason does not point to." Is this statement absolute?
The Shaykh : The apparent meaning is regarding the affirmation and establishment of them. Otherwise, reason does not guide to the details of the attributes that are obligatory for Allah. Perhaps his intention is that reason points to their affirmation and establishment and does not deny them.
The questioner : If it is established...?
The Shaykh : Yes, it is known that reason affirms them, without doubt. This is contrary to the position of others who say that reason indicates that He does not possess such-and-such and does not possess such-and-such, which are the attributes by which Allah described Himself in the Qur'an. We say, this is an error on your part. Everything by which Allah described Himself in the Qur'an does not contradict reason.
