Reconciling “I seek refuge in the words of Allah” with His saying, “So seek refuge in Allah”
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, O honorable Shaykh. A questioner asks: It was reported from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he said, “I seek refuge in the perfect words of Allah.” So he sought refuge in the words of Allah, while in His saying, “So seek refuge in Allah,” how do we reconcile these two?
Answer:
The words of Allah are among His attributes, (Glorified and Exalted is He), and when you seek refuge in Allah, you are seeking refuge in Him and in His names and attributes.
