Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : What does the representative answer regarding the verses that deny the likeness of Allah (Mighty and Majestic) to the created beings?
The Shaykh : For example
The questioner : What do they answer with regarding this verse[Ash-Shuraa 42:11] and regarding His saying, the Exalted: [Al-Ikhlas 112:4]
The Shaykh :[Al-Isra 17:111]
The questioner :[Al-Ikhlas 112:4]
The Shaykh :[Maryam 19:65]
The questioner :[Maryam 19:65]
The Shaykh : Do you not know that no one who holds to falsehood can refute the correct evidence except with a ridiculous meaning that is not accepted? They say, "There is nothing in the eternal existence like Him," and they distort the meaning. It is said, "Glory be to Allah! This is a matter that does not require denial." If you say the intended meaning is[Ash-Shuraa 42:11], i.e., in the eternal existence, then it is like the statement of the one who says:
The student: The sky is above us.
The Shaykh : The sky is above us and the earth is below us, yes, Zaki.
The Shaykh : For example
The questioner : What do they answer with regarding this verse
There is nothing like unto Him, and He is the Hearing, the Seeing.
ليس كمثله شيء وهو السميع البصيرto Him any equivalent."
