Machine translationRead the Arabic original

The questioner : Is it correct to say that it is permissible to say that every existent has a finder without qualifying it with the finder of existence or the one who made existence permissible?

The Shaykh : Every existent

The questioner : A finder or a creator

The Shaykh : A creator is not necessarily qualified; it must be qualified, because if you say that every existent has a creator, that includes Allah (Mighty and Majestic).

The questioner : ...

The Shaykh : You say every existent among the created things, and instead of this, you say every created thing has a Creator, as the Exalted said:

Or were they created by nothing, or were they the creators [of themselves]?

أم خلقوا من غير شيء أم هم الخالقون

[At-Tur 52:35]

The questioner : Shaykh.

The Shaykh : Yes, you took...

The questioner : ...

The Shaykh : No, no.

The questioner : At a time later

The Shaykh : It is finished, it is finished
The reader: "And He is

There is nothing like unto Him, and He is the Hearing, the Seeing.

ليس كمثله شيء وهو السميع البصير

[Ash-Shuraa 42:11]

To Him belong the keys of the heavens and the earth. He extends provision for whom He wills and restricts [it]. Indeed He is, of all things, Knowing.

له مقاليد السماوات والأرض يبسط الرزق لمن يشاء ويقدر إنه بكل شيء عليم

[Ash-Shuraa 42:12]

and we believe that He is

And there is no creature on earth but that upon Allah is its provision, and He knows its place of dwelling and place of storage. All is in a clear register.

ما من دابة في الأرض إلا على الله رزقها ويعلم مستقرها ومستودعها كل في كتاب مبين

[Hud 11:6]

and we believe that He is

And with Him are the keys of the unseen; none knows them except Him. And He knows what is on the land and in the sea. Not a leaf falls but that He knows it. And no grain is there within the darknesses of the earth and no moist or dry [thing] but that it is [written] in a clear record.

عنده مفاتح الغيب لا يعلمها إلا هو ويعلم ما في البر والبحر وما تسقط من ورقة إلا يعلمها ولا حبة ففي ظلمات الأرض ولا رطب ولا يابس إلا في كتاب مبين

[Al-An'am 6:59]

and we believe that Allah

Indeed, Allah [alone] has knowledge of the Hour and sends down the rain and knows what is in the wombs. And no soul perceives what it will earn tomorrow, and no soul perceives in what land it will die. Indeed, Allah is Knowing and Acquainted.

عِنْدَهُ عِلْمُ السَّاعَةِ وَيُنَزِّلُ الْغَيْثَ وَيَعْلَمُ مَا فِي الْأَرْحَامِ وَمَا تَدْرِي نَفْسٌ مَاذَا تَكْسِبُ غَدًا وَمَا تَدْرِي نَفْسٌ بِأَيِّ أَرْضٍ تَمُوتُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَلِيمٌ خَبِيرٌ

[Luqman 31:34]
