May Allah write it for him) Did He write it with His hand?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : His statement: Is it possible that Allah, the Writer, writes?
The Shaykh : It is possible that He wrote it with His hand, and it is possible that He commanded it to be written.
The questioner : The apparent meaning, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh : The apparent meaning is explicit, because Allah says "He wrote" in the Preserved Tablet the measures of all things, even though He did not write it with His hand. He commanded the Pen, and it wrote. We do not say He wrote it with His hand; we say He wrote it, just as He created. Allah created everything; did He create it with His hand? We cannot say so. For anything that Allah has not explicitly stated He did with His hand, we do not say "with His hand."
