The questioner : Delving deeply into the attributes...
The Shaykh : May Allah reward you with good. What Allah willed, He has opened up for him clearly. He says, "It is amazing that these people delve deeply into a matter for which they were not tasked, in the chapter of attributes, but they do not delve deeply into the commanded and prohibited matters. They understand the matters with a superficial understanding, and the prohibited matters with a superficial understanding. They commit the prohibited and leave the commanded. What do you say about this statement?" It is a good and correct statement. People neglect what they were tasked with and burden themselves with what they were not tasked with, or rather, what they were prohibited from delving deeply into. And this is a calamity.
