How does he command the sky to rain?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Some, O Shaykh, cited evidence... these things are specific to these five. How do we say that he acts?
The Shaykh : If Allah granted him that, is it not Allah who gives life to the dead? Yes. Well, does 'Isa give life to the dead? He gives life to the dead by the permission of Allah. This one commands the sky to rain by the permission of Allah, and the earth to grow by the permission of Allah.
Nothing contradicts the exclusivity, as long as it is Allah who granted him permission.
