Can all the attributes established by the Book and the Sunnah be deduced by reason?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Can all the attributes of Allah (Mighty and Majestic) that He established in His Book and in the Sunnah of His Messenger be deduced by reason?
The Shaykh : No, some of them are not grasped by human reason, and some are not grasped by one's intellect. Otherwise, if reason could grasp them, we would say that reason grasps in detail what is obligatory for Allah. But reason does not contradict them. This is why one of the principles of the people of the Sunnah is that the texts come with what baffles the intellects, not with what the intellects reject. Yes.
