Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Swearing by the actual attributes
The Shaykh : What?
The questioner : Swearing by the actual attributes, such as by the anger of Allah.
The Shaykh : What?
The questioner : Swearing by the actual attributes, such as by the anger of Allah?
The Shaykh : And what do you say? What do you say? Say it?
The questioner : Is it permissible or not to swear?
The Shaykh : Say it? Give the formula?
The questioner : And by the anger of Allah.
The Shaykh : By the anger of Allah, that Allah becomes angry with you, and how else? I mean, you do not find anything to swear by except the attribute of anger.
The questioner : And other actual attributes.
The Shaykh : But the attributes of pleasure are more appropriate, if you want to swear by the attributes. Also, the attributes of strength, power, and dominion are more appropriate. Yes.
Note that there is a general matter and a specific matter. For example, Allah created everything. If you say, "O Creator of everything," this is an attribute of praise. But to say, "Allah is the creator of dogs, for example, or pigs," this is something you cannot say except in response to a debater who says, for example, "Pigs are not from the creation of Allah because they are impure, and dogs..." It is necessary to purify Allah from such expressions that may imply a deficiency, even though you say, "Allah is the Creator of everything," and He creates everything, is that not so? Now, pay attention to this rule, for it is among the best of things.
