How to reconcile the dual and plural forms in the description of the Eyes?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : We mentioned that Allah (Mighty and Majestic) has two Eyes, and that this does not exceed the dual. We mentioned that there is no contradiction between the singular and the plural forms. The remaining question is how we reconcile the dual and the plural? The answer to this is to say: If we say that the minimum for the plural is two, then there is no contradiction. And if we say that the minimum for the plural is three, then the plural here is for the sake of magnification and for the correspondence between the modifier and the modified, because the plural is intended for magnification, like His saying: [Al-Hijr 15:9] [Ya-Sin 36:12] and the like. And the correspondence here is the correspondence between the modifier and the modified, because the modified is a plural pronoun, so the correspondence between the modifier and the modified, or considering the correspondence between the modifier and the modified, is more appropriate. And I think this has been mentioned to us previously regarding the Hand.
