The Shaykh : The author (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "It contains issues: the first issue is affirming the names" From where is the affirmation of the names taken? From His saying [Al-A'raf 7:180] This is a report that includes its implication regarding the establishment of the names for Allah. Here, the sentence contains restriction by fronting what? Fronting the predicate. Is the restriction based on the names or based on their being beautiful? It is based on their being beautiful, because... Allah also has names, but the restriction is based on them being beautiful. Now, who denied the names? The Jahmiyyah and the extremists of the Mu'tazilah, not all of them. Their established doctrine is merely the denial of the attributes. Yes.
The questioner : ... the restriction in His saying that Allah has... the restriction is also...
The Shaykh : No, no. He said, "Whoever enumerates them will enter Paradise." The sentence that follows is the one that prevented the restriction.
Yes, he says: "The second is that they are beautiful" That the names are beautiful. What is the meaning of "beautiful"? That they have reached the peak of beauty, because "beautiful" (Husna) is a superlative noun.
"The third is the command to supplicate to Him with them" We said that supplication is of two types: supplication of request and supplication of worship. Both are commanded; one is commanded to supplicate to Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) with these beautiful names. What is the manner of the supplication of worship?
The student: ...
The Shaykh : Leaving those among the ignorant atheists who oppose [the truth]. Leaving them, and it has been mentioned to us that the intended meaning is to leave their path, not that we should not call them or clarify things for them. And the verse also includes, in addition to that, a threat, a threat.
Yes, "The fifth is interpreting the deviation in them" It has been previously mentioned that deviation in the names occurs in four types.
"The sixth is the warning for whoever deviates" In His saying[Al-A'raf 7:180] Yes, then the author (may Allah have mercy on him) said.
And to Allah belong the best names
