May Allah reward you, O honorable Shaykh.
The Shaykh : What?
The questioner : The phrase "If the Lawgiver intended" and "And the wisdom of the Lawgiver" appears in some of the books of the scholars. Is this word one of the names of Allah the Exalted?
The Shaykh : No, the word "Lawgiver" appears in the books of the scholars. "Lawgiver" is a description, not a name, derived from the saying of Allah the Exalted:[Ash-Shuraa 42:13] In the books of the scholars, "Lawgiver" is applied to Allah (Mighty and Majestic), who is the One to whom judgment belongs and to whom judgment is referred. It is also sometimes applied to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) is a legislator for his Ummah. Indeed, when he (peace and blessings be upon him) says something or does something by which people worship Allah, it is a Shari'ah. Therefore, "Lawgiver" is applied to the Lord (Mighty and Majestic) and to the Prophet, and it is a description, not a name. Yes.
