continuing with Islamic Creed level two
and still with the names and attributes
of Allah subhana tala the Oneness of the
names and attributes of Allah subhana
tala and in this class inshallah we'll
talk about some of the types or the
categories of the attributes of Allah
subhana wa tala as a way to make it easy
for us to study them and to believe in
them in the proper way so the may Allah
subhana T have mercy upon them when they
looked into the attributes of Allah
subhana wa tala they classified them in
more than one uh type one of which is
with regards to uh being affirmed or not
so meaning something that you would
affirm or something that you would
negate so they call
it
or that means you it's established
affirmed so that means Allah subhana T
said about himself that he is that he's
the ever living this is
not be negated but rather to be
established and to be affirmed the
attribute of the knowledge of Allah
subhana tala the different attributes of
that the face and the hands and the
descending and and the like of this and
it's all of course attributes that has
the praise the perfect praise to Allah
subhah wa ta'ala and this is most of the
attributes of Allah subhana tala in the
Quran and in the Sunnah of the Prophet
Alat from this type of course which is
this is what it means when we talk about
the attributes of Allah subhana wa tala
but as mentioned before there areat
there are attributes of Allah subhana wa
T that Allah denied from himself negated
from himself or the messenger sallallahu
alaihi wasallam did the same thing as we
said like sleeping Allah subhana
says no no sleep for Allah subhana wa
tala no no Injustice whatsoever so this
is attributes that are negtive ated
right and that's why the theat that is
to be established we get to know that
from the Quran and the Sunnah of the
prophet and also denying things is
according also to what's mentioned in
the Quran and in the Sunnah of the
prophet and anything that would
attribute deficiency or weakness to
Allah subhana tala and as mentioned
before you if anything that is negated
you believe in the opposite of it in the
most perfect way so if you deny that
Allah subhana wa taala do any any
Injustice that means Allah subhana T is
the most just subhah tala so this is the
first category of things with regards to
and what's established affirmed and
what's to be denied the second type of
classification is with regards to the
evidences of How It's been
established uh and that is basically of
two types they call it
that means the only way for a person to
know it is through the uh the evidences
the from Allah subhana Allah informed us
right so this is uh can be for example
the the the the face the hands and so on
uh this is the one that gets to be known
with and it can be also can be actions
like for example the the anger the the
the the SM you know the or smiling or
the like of this this is all actions
from Allah subhana wa tala so every
attribute of Allah subhana tala there is
no way to establish it except by being
informed by Allah subhana tala that
means
it's whether it's to the being of Allah
subhana tala or to his actions the which
is this is where you have the you have
the text you have the from Allah subhana
wa tala and also the the matters of of
Reason which is very clear you know so
this can be for example the life and the
knowledge and the power and also can be
actions which is the creation of Allah
subh the giving of Allah subhana tala so
this is where regards to whether we are
informed of it or whether it's something
that is known for us to be able to
comprehend it basically from Allah
subhana wa tala and it's all in the
Quran and the sunah of the
Prophet uh a third category of these
themes or attributes of Allah subhana
tala when it comes to whether it's
related to the being of Allah subhana
tala or to the actions of Allah so
whether
it's refers to the being of Allah
subhana T that means it's there at all
times which is the knowledge the power
the life the hearing the seeing and so
on right so this is does not happen once
in a while this is always there and
there is the actions of Allah this is
something that is related to the will of
Allah subhana tala like rose over his
throne coming down in the last part of
the night anger happiness and so on or
uh I'm sorry the not happiness but
rather the the joy that Allah subhana T
is pleased with his slaves and so on so
this is something that is actions that
it comes you know it's depending on the
actions of Allah subhana wa tala TI to
the will of Allah subhana tala Allah
subhana tala bestow his Mercy to whoever
he wills and he's angry towards whoever
he wills and so on so but then when it
comes to the the first type ofat or the
attributes which is the that refers to
the being of Allah subhana wa tala it is
not tied to the will that means you
don't say that Allah subhana tala he
knows if he Wills no he is the alln
knower subhana wa taala and he is the
all powerful subhah wa taala at all
times but he forgives whoever he wills
and he does not forgive whoever he Wills
like this so these are two different
types of attributes of Allah subhah wa
tala and there's a third category of
which it has both so the the attribute
is a is something that is part of the
being of Allah subhana tala and also it
has these actions like for example Alam
the the speech of Allah subhana tala
it's always there and this is is one of
the attributes of Allah subhana wa
ta'ala and it keeps on happening so
unlike those who believe that the speech
of Allah is something that
is happened and that's it there's no
more no there's no such a thing and this
is uh is according to the will of Allah
even though it's
a that is refers to Allah subhana tala
so this is when it comes to the
different types of or categories of the
attributes of Allah subhana wa tala
whether it's to
and so on this is again a way that the
they looked into these attributes of
Allah subhana wa tala
from the Quran and the Sunnah of the
Prophet so there for to deal and to
believe in these attributes that is
established in the Quran and the Sunnah
with regards to Allah subana tala is to
know the meaning of it we need to
understand the meaning of it without
without again without knowing how things
are because we don't have that knowledge
whether it's in the Quran or in the
sunah of the
Prophet there's no ambiguity in it it's
very clear and the Quran
is it's a clear book from Allah subhana
wa tala and we have to be careful
because there's a word that you might
have heard or you might hear where
people talk
about is to leave the matter to Allah
someone would say all of these different
and things that people are saying that
leave the matter to Allah say Allah
knows best what that means of course
Allah subhana T knows best but why the
Revelation was revealed you know for
someone not to do anything but rather to
believe in things so the people of they
make the which is Allah knows best
because we don't have the knowledge of
is in the in how things are not in the
meanings so if someone says Allah knows
best what or the hand
means this is deviation no we know what
hands means but how the hands is Allah
knows best and push away any
similarities any resemblance and you see
how the sequence of things if a person
truly denies any similarity or
resemblance he will be safe but what
happened to the people of innovation
those who said that the people of they
make similarities and resemblance no
it's the opposite why because if they
read the verse of the
Quran the hands of Allah subhana T
immediately comes into their minds is
there similarities here is mentioned so
they would say no similarities so they
would alter the word so they're the ones
that fell into the similarities that's
why they pushed it away by altering and
by deviation the people of Sunnah they
don't even initiate any similarities in
their hearts nothing is the like of
Allah subhana tala but the word is clear
when it comes to the meaning
so the people of they make with the not
with the not with the meanings of the
attributes of Allah and always remember
the statement of IM Malik when he was
asked about and apply it in every
attribute of Allah you can say the same
thing and we talked about that before
use for example when it comes to the
hands of Allah we know exactly what that
means how it is we do not know we don't
have the knowledge of
it and to believe in it is because it's
mentioned in the
Quran and to ask about it is of the how
things
are and this is a beautiful way to
follow in every name and attribute of
Allah and you would never go wrong if
you follow that so whether
it's the knowledge the life the the
hearing the seeing all of that you
follow these principles a person will be
saved from any form of deviations so uh
and this is how things are so then a
again is in the how of things are right
so whoever attribute to the early
generations of Islam that they don't
know the meanings of the attributes of
Allah and they make t weed and they say
Allah knows best what these attributes
means right they have
lied about them and they would never do
such a thing because the the way of a is
that they would establish the words and
the meanings and they made the in the in
the how things are and Allah commanded
us to reflect upon the
Quran so to reflect upon the Quran to
reflect upon theat of and the attributes
of Allah subhana tala without knowing
the meanings of it that means its words
without any meaning to it there's no
such a thing but the how Allah subhana
tala knows best and as mentioned if you
follow these matters of principles so
therefore you know it's a the people
of are the ones that don't make that in
the meanings right so because again it's
a warning because people would spread
this they would say that the people of
they made no the are one of the worst
deviant ones the people of they don't
make in the meanings they make in the or
how these attributes of Allah subhana
tala are so we ask Allah subhana wa tala
to make us among those who are safe from
uh deviation and to make a steadfast
upon the dean of Allah we'll continue
with more insh next
time
