The Shaykh :"As for the compound of the two, it is: that which is negative in one respect and relative in another, as they say of Allah: 'He is the First.'" Is that what you have? Good.
"He is the First. It is negative in the respect that He is devoid of being created, and relative in the respect that things are after Him. If this is what the method of the deniers is derived from, how can the soul of a believer or a person of reason be at ease with adopting it and abandoning the path of those upon whom Allah has bestowed favor, from among the prophets, the truthful, the martyrs, and the righteous?"
This chapter is considered a historical chapter, but even so, it shows that the origin or the principle of these deniers is entirely false, because, as you have seen, it is taken from the philosophers, the Jews, and the misguidance of the polytheists. Therefore, it cannot be the foundation for an Islamic creed by which a person worships Allah the Exalted. Yes.
