Is hearing and sight general for everything?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : ... The knowledge of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) encompasses everything, even a grain in the darkness of the sea.
The Shaykh : Yes
The questioner : And is the sight of Allah (Mighty and Majestic) and His hearing also encompassing all these matters?
The Shaykh : Yes, but in everything, in every thing. However, here we must know that hearing is of two types: hearing in the sense of perception, and sight in the sense of perception; this is general. And there is something specific, such as the saying of Allah the Exalted, or the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him)Sunan Ibn Majah 2208Sahih (Darussalam), and also the saying of Allah the Exalted [Al-Baqarah 2:174]. This is the specific looking. As for the general looking, meaning the perception of visible things, that is comprehensive. Yes.
