Arguing from the beginning to the end [Al-'Ankabut 29:20].

Among them is the generality of this power. From where is the generality taken?.
Among them is the establishment of the voluntary actions of Allah (Mighty and Majestic), for that is part of the perfection of His power, such as what? Coming and descending, rising above the Throne, laughing, and being amazed, and the like of that.
Among them is also this, which we have pointed out, and it is not included in the content of the verse, which is the error of the one who said "The intellect is specific to its own self, so He is not able to do it". And we have made it clear that this is not correct, is it clear? And we said: This is regarding those who deny the existence of voluntary actions for Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). They say that He, the Exalted, is not able to do this. And there is no doubt that this is refuted against them from the Book and the Sunnah and the consensus of the Salaf.
