And we believe that Allah the Exalted has two real eyes, as He the Exalted said: << واصنع الفلك بأعيننا ووحينا >> [ Hud
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Yes, yes "we believe likewise" In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful "we believe likewise that Allah the Exalted has two real eyes" "that Allah has eyes" this dual form "two" is an emphasis "real" negates metaphor. So Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) has two real eyes. The evidence is the saying of Allah (Blessed and Exalted is He) [Hud 11:37] [Hud 11:37] If someone were to say that the evidence does not match the meaning, because we said "two eyes" but we cited "Our eyes," and a condition of evidence is that it must match the meaning, how is that? I say that the point of matching is that His saying is a plural in form but not in meaning. A plural in form but not in meaning. How is that? Because it is established that Allah has two eyes. The plural here either intends absolute plurality or it intends magnification. If it intends absolute plurality, it is according to the view of those who say that the minimum of a plural is two. And if we say it intends magnification, then the meaning of this plural is magnification, not the reality of the number, not the reality of the number. Both are correct. That is to say, if we say that the plural indicates absolute plurality, even if it is two, the matter is clear. And if we say it indicates three or more, but the plural here is for magnification, it is also clear. The reason it is for magnification is that it is attached to what implies number, which is and here there is no doubt that it is for magnification, because Allah is One (Mighty and Majestic). If it is for magnification, then the magnification of the thing attached to is acquired by the thing attached. What?
The student: Magnification
The Shaykh : Magnification. So it became and Allah does not have more than two. This is the explanation of the argument by the verse. And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said meaning the veil of the Lord (Mighty and Majestic) with which He veiled Himself from the created beings is light. And it is a great, great, great light that does not resemble the light of the sun or anything else we see, but it is greater. And with that the radiance, the splendor, the greatness, and the majesty. If this light that is between Allah and the creation were removed, the radiance of His Face would burn up whatever of His creation His sight reaches. The point of this hadith is His saying where He affirmed sight for Allah the Exalted. And His saying It cannot be said that this is evidence that the sight of Allah has a limit, but it is evidence that the thing seen has a limit, not the sight. And if what His sight reaches of His creation burns up, then all of creation burns up. All of creation burns up. If Allah removed the light, His veil with which He veiled Himself from the people, all the people would burn up. From what? From the great light. From the great light which is its radiance, its light, and its greatness Glory be to Allah the Great. This means it is a very great representation. So that also indicates that these two eyes are with which He (Exalted and Majestic is He) sees. He sees with them. Because the eyes are the instrument of sight. And if it had not been for we would not understand except that the eyes have what? Sight. Otherwise, these eyes would be defective. Now we have established in our belief that Allah has two eyes and that they are real. The evidence is that with them is sight. The evidence that with them is sight is His saying As for the saying of some people, "Why do you affirm that Allah sees with His eye? Where do you get this from?" We say, Glory be to Allah. The eye, when used in its general sense, implies the meaning of looking with it. And then we have this evidence Then he said "And the people of the Sunnah agreed that the eyes are two" By the consensus of the people of the Sunnah. Abu al-Hasan al-Ash'ari and others who focused on transmitting the reports transmitted that consensus that the people of the Sunnah agreed that Allah has only two eyes. As for the one who said, "No, He has many eyes that are not limited to two," his saying is an error, without doubt.
First, it is contrary to the consensus of the Salaf.
And second, it is contrary to the evidence. The evidence was discussed previously. And here is a clearer evidence. He said "And this is supported by the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) regarding the DajjalJami` at-Tirmidhi 2245Sahih (Darussalam) " What is the Dajjal? The Dajjal is a man from the children of Adam whom Allah the Exalted will send in the end of time as a trial, a trial for people. At first, when he appears, as some historians said, at first when he appears, he claims to be a prophet. Then subsequently, he claims to be a Lord and a God. And Allah (Mighty and Majestic) will give him of the signs by which he will mislead those who are misled. He will come to the people and call them to Allah, to himself, and that he is their Lord. If they refuse, they will become in a state of drought. They will become in a state of drought. Their land will die, their plants will die, and nothing will remain for them. And likewise, their livestock will die. And if he calls the people and they respond to his call, he will command the sky, and it will rain, and they will witness it.
