Discussion regarding the attribute of the Eye.

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Now, among the attributes of Allah (Mighty and Majestic) is also the attribute of the Eye. What is the evidence for affirming it?
The student: The evidence

The Shaykh : Yes
The student: Its evidence is the saying of Allah the Exalted:
By Our eyes بأعيننا


The Shaykh : What?
The student:
And be patient, [O Muhammad], for the decision of your Lord, for indeed, you are in Our eyes فاصبر لحكم ربك فإنك بأعيننا
[At-Tur 52:48]


The Shaykh :
And be patient, [O Muhammad], for the decision of your Lord, for indeed, you are in Our eyes فاصبر لحكم ربك فإنك بأعيننا
[At-Tur 52:48]

The student: And be patient

The Shaykh : Yes.
The student: And be patient

The Shaykh : So be patient
The student: We have "And be patient"

The Shaykh : No, that is incorrect
The student: In al-Tur, I checked, and in al-Tur it is "And be patient"

The Shaykh : Yes.
The student: The one in al-Tur
And be patient, [O Muhammad], for the decision of your Lordواصبر لحكم ربك
[At-Tur 52:48]
I checked the verse...

The Shaykh : Yes, yes, look at it; there is no longer anything in the mushaf.
Indeed, We are with you, seeing فإنك بأعيننا
Now, what do we say about the attribute of the Eye? If we want to explain the meaning of the attribute of the Eye
The student:
And be patient, [O Muhammad], for the decision of your Lord, for indeed, you are in Our eyes. واصبر لحكم ربك فإنك بأعيننا
[At-Tur 52:48]


The Shaykh :
And be patient, [O Muhammad], for the decision of your Lord واصبر لحكم ربك
[At-Tur 52:48]
This is the correct one.
And be patient, [O Muhammad], for the decision of your Lord, for indeed, you are in Our eyes. واصبر لحُكم ربك فإنك بأعيننا
[At-Tur 52:48]
What do we say, Adel?
The student: The question, Shaykh

The Shaykh : What do we say about the attribute of the Eye if we want to affirm it in reality?
The student: We say that Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) has two eyes that befit Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He)

The Shaykh : In reality
The student: In reality

The Shaykh : He looks with them
The student: He looks with them

The Shaykh : Yes
The student: That befit Him (Glorified and Exalted is He)

The Shaykh : And they do not resemble
The student: And they do not resemble the eyes of the created beings

The Shaykh : Eyes
The student: The created beings.

The Shaykh : Of the created beings. Now, the evidence is this, yes.
