How to reconcile the statement that Allah is more deserving of every attribute of perfection with which a human is described, with the statement that a human is perfected by having children?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : This is the last question. Aqil Hamid says: “Allah is more deserving of every attribute of perfection with which a human is described.” If this principle is correct, how do you reconcile it with the fact that a human is perfected by having children?
First: The principle is not stated in this way. It is not said, “Allah is more deserving of every attribute of perfection with which a human is described.” Rather, it is said: “Allah is more deserving of every perfection.” Allah is more deserving of every perfection, without restricting it to humans. That is one point.
The second point: The perfection of a human through children is for the preservation of the lineage. As for Allah (Mighty and Majestic), He is the One who takes, and there is nothing after Him, so He does not need children. Do you understand?
