The Shaykh : Yes
The questioner : Ascribing to the created beings, what is possible...
The Shaykh : Yes, it is possible, it is possible, but detailing the matter in this context is better. Better detailing is preferable so that no one imagines that perfection in the created beings can be perfection in the Creator. We know that among the attributes of the created beings, there are some that are blameworthy, whereas in the attributes of the Creator, they are praise and glorification. Arrogance is a blameworthy attribute for the created being, but for the Creator, it is an attribute of perfection and praise. Yes.
