The Names and Attributes of Allah - Yasir Qadhi

you smilla Havana Rahim in the hamdulillah in a Middle West a new home on a star field when I would be like ensure all Yahoo sinawali say Yadier Molina mañana de la da da da da why you little fella a tiara watch shall dwell in no claw wider Malaysia together what should one muhammad and a Balu who wore a suit the topic for today is an introduction to the names and attributes of allah subhanahu wata'ala as understood by Nero the generations of Islam and the first thing that any person should discuss when we study is any science is a simple question why should I study this science why is it so important to study this topic is it of interest to me it is a practical benefit to me why should I spend my time pondering over this particular field so the question arises why are we spending our time studying the names and attributes of allah subhanahu wa tada and the response to this is that there are many many reasons firstly this field of allah's names and attributes is basically the essence of taurine it is the essence of Torah because don't need involves knowledge of who Allah is followed by worshipping Allah based upon that knowledge soto it can be divided into two categories the first category is don't need of recognition and knowledge meaning who is Allah what is the object that we worship what are his names and the second is the heat of your own actions in other words once you have studied and recognized who is a lot then that will be followed up by worshiping him in him alone so it can be seen that the knowledge of Allah is the fundamental building block of Torah itself because the the meaning of Nadia high in the law in order to understand it you have to know who Allah is in the first place and this is the towhead or a unification in the laws names and attributes so though heat of allah's names and attributes answers the question who is our lord who is he and then what do we do based upon that knowledge which is worship him alone another aspect which shows you the beauty of the science is that it is the most noble of all Sciences the science of abuzz names and attributes this is because the nobility of a science is proportional to the majesty of the object of study for example in general a doctor is considered to be a higher level than the same engineering why because the subject of the doctor study is the human body whereas the subject of the engineer is various material objects of this world so the doctor is given a preferred status because his object of study is more important is more noble and what can be more majestic than allah subhana wa ta'ala himself nothing there for a study of his names and attributes is the most majestic and the most noble of all Sciences because Allah Azza WA JAL is the greatest and the most majestic of all beings yet another the science is that this is one of the reasons why Allah created us one of the reasons why Allah created us is to know and recognize him as Allah subhana WA Ta'ala says in surah verse 12 that Allah is the one who has created the seven heavens and the earth he has created the earths of a similar number so that you may know that Allah is capable of all things so that you may know why has he created everything so that you may know some of the names and attributes of allah and in allah he has a very beautiful passage one of the great scholars he states that of the purposes of creation is the manifestation of allah's names and attributes in other words Allah is alcoholics right we all know the Creator therefore by creating the creation along proves and shows that he is the father he demonstrates it likewise allah is ar-rahman by showing mercy to the creation he is demonstrating his rahman he is allah father tewara module the one who forgives the one who accepts the repentance therefore when we commit sins and then turn to Allah in repentance this is in fact a manifestation of many of the names and attributes of Allah so the creation is in fact a manifestation of who allah azza wajal or the or the divine essence of allah so a and his attributes there for a study of the science is in fact one of the purposes why Allah created us he created us one of the reasons why he created us now you will say doesn't this contradict the verse in the Quran that I have only created managing to worship me the response is that this worship cannot be done except with the knowledge of Allah you cannot worship Allah except by knowing who he is so there is no contradiction in this Allah created us to worship Him yes but a part of that worship necessitates that we know who this Allah is what what are his names and attributes likewise allah azzawajal has commanded us in many many verses in the quran to ponder over his names and attributes for example allah says allah will know realize that Allah is severe in punishment and forgiving in his mercy here in every window mahaganesha they know that Allah is capable of all things err nemu know that Allah knows all things so Allah is commanding us to know it meaning we should study it and that is why many people they don't reflect over the names of attributes of Allah has found in the Quran why does Allah end a certain verse with the name and attribute what is the wisdom behind it why does a lhasa in one person your ninety and another versatile in other words to welcome you no hacking why it doesn't let just say these names for no reason there is a wisdom when he uses a certain name in a certain verse Allah is wanting to remind us of something but that is why he uses me and almost as you know so many versatile for our perhaps a third or half of the verses Allah concludes these verses by what by mentioning his names and attributes therefore this is a reason for us to ponder what does it mean Allah Aziz and Hakeem at Allah Allah far away dude and so on and so forth yet another reason why we should study this science is that the knowledge of allah's names and attributes gives life to the heart there is nothing that increases your iman and makes you a better movement than by studying a Las names and attributes Allah says in the Quran and the verse recorded in the end of hook but today gives the example of the one who was dead and we gave him life so he was unaware of Allah and Allah caused him to be aware of himself so this was a life of his heart and yet another person soda sugar verse 52 allah azza wajal says this is how we have inspired the spirits to you Baba calls the Quran a spirit because without the spiritual are dead without this rule in you you don't have any life and this loop the spirit contains knowledge of Allah and knowledge of the worship of Allah so the best way to increase your iman the surest way to increase Iman is to Haunter over the majestic and beautiful names and attributes of allah subhanahu wa to adam yet another reason a blessing of the science is that Allah Azza WA JAL has commanded us in the Quran to make it to our using his names and attributes Allah says in surah Araf when in laughing a smile is not for the ruby huh - Allah belongs the most beautiful names so make dua using these names so Allah is commanding us that we make dua we worship Him using these names therefore we have to know what his names and attributes are and what name should be used for each drop when we ask for forgiveness it is befitting that we use the name pertaining to forgiveness Allah for Allah Farah table and we'll do adore him and honey what we ask for punishment upon the disbelievers it is befitting that we use at Aziz of Hawaii and Jabbar on with a camp it when we ask for guidance is befitting that we use and Hadi and so on and so forth so our knowledge of these names helps us make table and one of the best ways to increase the chances of our dua being responded to is to use the appropriate name we choose the name of Allah that is the most appropriate for the dog that we want and there is not a single thing that you can think of except that there is an appropriate name that should be mentioned in that Torah and this is of the beauty of Allah's names and attributes likewise a knowledge of Allah's names and attributes leads to a type of consciousness and humility in us and in fact every name and every attribute it causes us to increase our iman in a different way so when we study for example the meaning of for example unlooted captain and we'll take a grid what is the meaning of erotica tell me what is the meaning of it not to come in right no the one who has pride okay in fact the actual translation usually in English is the one who is arrogant okay this is usually I was translated now in a last case can you translate and what I kept it as the one who is arrogant of course not therefore you study what is it need and which I kept in Alamut a cap it means it comes from the root Kabbalah which means the one who is the largest of the grandest okay and a person who is arrogant a person who is arrogant is hauled with a captain because he is too proud to submit to someone else he is too arrogant to submit to someone else therefore we use the term motek a bit as a derisive term as a term that you use when you angry at someone his friend would take up it is very arrogant you don't use it to praise have you ever pondered how we can use this for Allah Azza WA JAL how is it appraised when you realize that the real meaning of what to cover the linguistic meaning is someone who is who does not respond to others or who does not humble himself to others you realize that in the case of mankind and what is an evil thing but in the case of a lot just transform into the height of praise because there is no object that Allah can humble himself in front no object has the right to demand allegiance from Allah who is there or what creation is there that can demand subservience from Allah therefore in our case to do what the government is an evil thing because we have no right to limit a cup in the very air we breathe Allah provides it how can we be with the government we are dependent on everything but when it comes to allah azzawajal the very name which is an insult to us becomes a praise to him there is no object that he can or should humble himself in front of him therefore he has every right to be with a convey meaning the one who does not humble himself in front of others likewise every every name as well so we can go on and on a jumbo one of the meanings of a java is that any deficiency in that we have Allah will fill that up Allah is the one who provide any deficiency that we have so every name and attribute that we learn and ponder over it will increase our love it will increase our humility it will increase our Iman and don't walk of Allah Subhanahu WA Donna until one now in general to walk the one who repents but in a last case it means the one who continually accepts the repentance so for a person to be in a while all the time doing it over this is good but for a lot so enter the meaning of tebab is the one who always accepts not just once not just twice continually no matter how many sins you do Allah will accept your repentance this is the meaning of it Awad as I said every name every attribute it brings about a humility a consciousness of Allah which the other names and attributes do not bring and the more we study them the more we increase in our love for Allah and that is why a love of this knowledge is in fact a love of Allah if you really and truly love Allah subhana WA Ta'ala then a manifestation of that love is that you will study his names and attributes so can Allah let me give you an example all of us know it is not possible that we love an object or a person except that we want to know each and every detail about that person if a person travels and he's away from his wife and children he wants to find out what they did that day what is happening what is going on it's not going to affect him but it is a sign of love to increase his knowledge about that thing and how much worse nobody that method Agha to Allah belongs the best example how much more so our divine love for Allah should we not want to know as much as we can of course because we are never going to know completely about although we will never be able to comprehend completely but Allah has given us some knowledge of him and that knowledge is the names and attributes of Allah therefore he who loves Allah loves his name's in and loves to study them and he who does not have this love for Allah does not care about the names and attributes of allah subhanahu wata'ala that is why when a person recite is written is lost for the entire night the Sahaba heard of this and they thought this to be very trivial what is sooner than is lost he kept on repeating it's very easy the prophets of Allah are you send them said I swear by Allah this surah is equivalent to one-third of the Quran one-third of the Quran why should the class equivalent to one-third of the Quran because it's only about Allah so much nothing else it describes who he is so a love of allah azza wajal will manifest itself in a love of knowing his names and attributes of standing his names and attributes and when a person does not love Allah religion he will not care to study the names and attributes of Allah Subhanahu WA talent another incentive that we should have to study these names and attributes is the hadith of the profits of the law party he will send them where he said that to Allah belong 99 names 100 - 199 days whoever acts AAHA is the word used commonly tries it as memorized but will explain is more than that whoever acts Agha will enter paradise and the meaning of this word is that there are three factors that are entailed in this phrase our backs are the first is to know them obviously memorize them the second is to implement them in your lives and the third is to make jihad with them so when you know that Allah is a senior this is the first aspect you know it and you know its meaning the one who hears everything no matter how silent it is and then you can make duodenum as well using this name and implemented in your daily life such that you are conscious that whatever you say Allah is hearing it you don't let your award accept that and the name is Semyon comes to your mind that everything that is that I say and speak allah azzawajal will be aware of it and record it for the day of judgement likewise the nape the concept of Allah's names and attributes is the basis of all other Islamic Sciences this is because all other Sciences return back to the simple concept of who a large organism the creation is divided into two things that which has been created and that which has been spoken by Allah somehow they move without them that which has been created as everything around us and that which has been spoken is the quran allah azzawajal says in the quran allah that will help well number to Allah belongs the command and the creation so everything all of the physical sciences of physics chemistry biology mathematics medicine they all go back to the creation of Allah and all of the spiritual sciences of hadith of see if it will so it will start up they all all go back to the speech of Allah the Kalam of Allah so all of the sciences go back directly to Allah some Hanuman what are them therefore a knowledge of this subject is the basis of all other knowledge likewise studying about allah azza wajal teaches us about ourselves and this is a very profound statement steady who allah azza wajal we'll teach us who we are because ignoring Allah is ignoring ourselves notice what Allah says in the Quran Allah says inserted Hashem what at 7:00 o Canada nestled Ahava and Salman who say don't be like those who forgot Allah and so in the process Allah caused them to forget about themselves beautiful verse you think about it don't be like those who forgot Allah what was the result of forgetting Allah Allah caused them to forget themselves because they had no purpose in life so their purpose of life became meaningless they forgot themselves now this first is inserted Hashem in the right at the end who knows what is the ending of lure that Hesher the last 5-6 verses what is it all about it is about the names of Allah all of them so this verse starts off the topic of the names of Allah Allah says what I tell you look at it in another month and Salman system would I go with fast food don't be like those who forgot about Allah and so they forgot themselves and then Allah says after two three verses oh Allah oh Allah hi devanam a lady who shared a horror game voila and medical caduceus salaam and movement and mohammad and Aziza Japan was a given so on and so forth a lot of eval missile win Subhan Allah o merciful in other words the point being after quoting this verse don't be like those who forgot Allah Allah reminds you of who he is through his names and attributes therefore by studying a lot names and attributes we in fact study ourselves we appreciate our role in life our purpose in life yet in our final reason there are many many reasons but the final reason Allah mentioned today for study is topic is that there are many many deviant groups and methodologies there are many differences of opinion amongst the Muslims regarding a lot names and attributes and what is correct and what is incorrect and these controversies have existed since around 150 to 200 inches of granite around 1200 years to our tracks until our time there are many different methodologies therefore it is imperative that we study them to know what is true and what is incorrect this is yet another reason that should drive us be an incentive factor for us to study a Las names and attributes now what I'd like to leave you with obviously we cannot discuss each individual name and attribute because this is a topic in and of itself but what I want to do today after this introduction of why we should study the names attribute is to leave you with some rules some principles for understanding of those names and attributes such that this will act as a building block for you to go on and to research on yourself now the first principle that we'll discuss is what exactly is the difference between a name and an attribute I've been saying this from the beginning names and attributes of Allah what is the difference between the name of Allah and an attribute of Allah and in Arabic we'll call it an ism and the Siffin an ism or a name has two meanings to it firstly it is a proper name that you used to call Allah so again and secondly it conveys a meaning so a Sameer is a name we say yeah send me a drop and Eileen I can keep these our names we can call out to Allah at the same time these names conveys a meaning a city it means the one who hears and I need me the one who is aware of all allah cyril of ottawa and so on and so forth an attribute on the other hand only conveys a meaning and it is not a proper name that you can call out so a name consists of names and attributes every name has an attribute but not every attribute will give you a name you understand this every name is a name and an attribute but not every attribute will give you a name let me give you an example of this every single name of allah right al Aziz and Hakeem and Jamal Doman take away the Semyon Vasily you can derive attributes and Aziz meaning the one who has honor and power and glory and might sometimes you can derive one attribute from one name by the way and Isis has three different attributes that we get from it for example the meaning of might the meaning of power and the meaning of glory and majesty these are three meanings you get from one name three attributes like was that Hakeem you get two meetings from it that of hikmah and that of hakham or judging hikmah meaning wisdom and Hakeem has two meanings to it the all-wise and the judge okay so this is a name and it gives you one or more or two or three many attributes an attribute will not necessarily give you a name it might it might not for example with Richard a Fatiha that evening Sir Arthur was 13 Surratt and Alena and now Daniel a Dean Berube I did not the path of those upon whom you are angry so anger is an attribute of Allah but do we derive from this attribute a name and we say the one who gets angry AlcoholEdu no because the one who gets angry as a name is not to be fitting name it is not befitting that allah be called the one who gets angry this is not a praise for the name so allah never calls himself in the foreign the one who gets angry however the attribute of anger has been ascribed to him so an attribute does not necessarily give you a name but every name gives you at least one and sometimes more than one attribute likewise when you make dua to allah you do not need to add to the attribute you make go out to the name you do not say yeah you're feeling it no you say yeah man Finley you don't say ya mph era you say you have a failure of a fool in Finley so you call out to the name and not to the attribute also another principle is that all of allah's names are names of ultimate perfection and infinite beauty ultimate perfection you cannot get more perfect than these names and attributes of allah subhanahu wata'ala as allah says in the quran surah our offers 180 what in line as my listener for the Ruby had to Allah belongs the most beautiful and perfect names so the most beautiful and perfect names belong to Allah so widget' and that is why this leads us to another principle we do not derive names and attributes for Allah because it is not our job to do so what is found in the Quran assume that we take it and what is not powder than pour on this window we are not allowed to speak about Allah without knowledge in other words for example you read many times you know Allah is the engineer of the universe or the architect of the creation this is not good it is not allowed it is not proper for us to name Allah or to attribute to Allah though that which is not found in the Quran and Sunnah so this is another fundamental principle that we restrict ourselves to the names and attributes of Allah found in the Quran and Sunnah because we have never seen Allah we will never see a lot in this world we pray that Allah we will see him in the hereafter our biggest blessing but in this world we have scene Allah no one has seen a lot more sadist and I'm asked to see all that he was not able to see the Prophet SAW was asked did you see Allah when he went to his Darwin Maharaj he said Noah it was divine Mike how could I see him in other words the very veil of a lot was light which is a beautiful image reader even the veil of Allah is light the veil itself is light how can I see what is behind the veil so the prophesies of himself did not see allah subhanahu wata'ala in this world of course and then you're after then the the believers will all see a larger region depending on their level in gender the frequency way dependent on their Imam so we haven't seen Allah we as human beings in general have not spoken to Allah all these some of the prophets like Moses a days that I like the Prophet SAW some have spoken to Allah so how do we know about Allah Azza WA JAL the only way that we know about him is through what he has told himself what he has told us about himself this is our only source of knowledge regarding allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala another principle which will be very new to many of you how many names as a lost Palitana have quickly 99 any disagreements some narrations say more how many 103 mashallah and let's go higher huh 1000 Marshall the right answer is right here only allah azza wajal knows meeting an infinite number of names this is a very common misconception that many Muslims have and these irony is hardly any scholar of the past in fact to be more precise there was only one scholar of the past by the name of david hasn't was a and he had some strange ideas to say the least he was the one who claimed that only Allah is engineering all the scholars of Sunni Islam all of them agreed that Allah has an infinite number of names now you will all say and I just quoted ahead e to the contrary I just quoted your hadith in which the Prophet SAW said I've said to Allah belongs how many names 99 whoever memorizing will enter Genya okay Palm D'Or with his hadith did the prophets Allah I said I'm saying Allah only has 99 names or did he say that there are 99 names such that if you memorize them you will enter gen which of the two is it it is a second one there are 99 out of the infinite names there are 99 such that if you memorize them you will enter gender and in fact if you look at the Quran and Sunnah just the Quran and Sunnah quickly go over it you you will come to over 150 200 names just from the partisan pondering over the cursory glance going over the Quran in one reading writing them all the names you will get to more than 99 so this automatically shows you that there are more than 99 names of Allah subhana WA Ta'ala and of the proofs for this is a beautiful hadith quoted in mustard AHIMA headband where the Prophet SAW sent me give a long a narration basically which is a drought in which the person is asked to pray o Allah I ask you by every name that belongs to you where do you have given it to some of your creation or revealed it in some of your books or taught it to some of your creation or kept it hidden in the knowledge of the unseen kept it hidden in the knowledge of the unseen so there are names of Allah Azza WA JAL that we don't know about it is in the knowledge of the unseen another proof for this is the headache of the long I think one of the longest penitence I have a body which discards what will happen on the day of judgment the prophecies about the point won't to mention he says I will do says that in front of Allah in front of the throne of Allah and Allah will teach me how to praise him in a way that I did not know before so he will be taught new names new ways of praising Allah showing you that there are more names than that that are found in the Quran and Sunnah even and the names that are found in the Carson are more than 99 but of these names in the Quran and Sunnah there are 99 there are more majestic if and all of them are majestic all of them are beautiful but there are 99 that are more than the arrest therefore whoever memorizes them will enter gender by the way as a side point you find very commonly there is a chart that has the names of Allah in reality this chart is based on a hadith which is not authentic and therefore you find some names which are not found anywhere else except in this life hadith and you also find names which are found in the parson and not found on this chart ok so be cautious of this that not all of the names that are found on this chart are authentic names some of them are not actually founded on authentic Sunnah or the Quran there are text under the process no more the Quran another principle is that out of these 99 names there is one name which is the ultimate name of allah azza wajal the grandest name the prophets of allah values and them said that to allah belongs is one album or the grandest name whoever uses this name his dua will be responded to Allah will respond to his drop what is this name the Prophet system did not explicitly tell us however the scholars have derived two very probable candidates for this name and there's a strong difference which of these candidates is over the two I'll give you both opinions and you can take both of them the first opinion is that the grand name this grandest name is a lot itself and this to me seems to be the stronger of the two opinions and the other opinion is that this name is a Tyumen and he'll tell you this is the second opinion okay in any case and you can use both of these intercom data this is the beauty of Islam you can use all of the names of all eras whatever you make graph but there is one name as a process of self which is the grandest name of Allah and scholars have differed about which of these two as we said it is some say a higher human some say Allah Azza WA JAL that name itself another principle is that Allah Azza WA JAL has warned us against deviating from his names and attributes Allah says in surah are offers 118 to Allah belongs the most beautiful names to make go out to him and leave those who deviate regarding his names so Allah has warned us about deviating with regard to his names and attributes how does this deviation occur there are many ways of them is to invent names that Allah did not name himself with all of them is to name idols after Allah and this is what the giant eruption they took Allah the name Allah they feminized it and they got a laugh which is the idol devotion that they took and I see is they feminized in the name it arose they took an Mahad feminizing and they made and manat and then allah says after item will data whether a woman not have validated maja so they feminized the names of allah and they named their idols after them and this is deviating from the correct relief in allah's names and attributes of the ways to deny or distort the reality of these names and attributes is to deny the meaning of these names and attributes in other words what allah says that he is a semi or algaas sinner what not we say no no this is not the meaning of a scenario is not the one who hears it is something else so we deviate from the proper understanding of the Arabic to something else and of the ways to deviate from Allah's names and attributes is to compare a lot of the creation and this is what the Christians are guilty of doing that they compared a lot of the creation they compared his names and attributes to that of the creation the final principle that we'll discuss is that the general rule with regards to all of these names attributes of Allah is that we affirm what Allah has affirmed for himself without distorting or denying the meanings of these names and without comparing or understanding the reality of the and attributes when I say understanding I mean understanding a reality how they exist we affirm it at its face value and we don't think how what why because we won't understand it Allah speaks to us in clear Arabic anyone who understands Arabic will understand the name statues linguistically but we will not understand the reality of how it occurs so it is a mistake to go to two extremes the first extreme is to deny what is found in the Quran and Sunnah because you think that it will lead to deviation and the other extreme is to compare how Allah describes himself to what is found in mankind Allah says in the Quran lays a committee he shade there is nothing like him what was the near agasi notice now in this very verse what attributes and names is allah saying he says that he is a senior and no see this is a characteristic that is found a seminal facility in almost all of the creation almost every animal almost every human being is Semiramis e so by using these names in this very verse allah religion is reminding us that just because i am s Samir and you also have some concept of hearing it doesn't mean that they are equal to one another no a simiiar in Allah is nothing like this in here in US and hi in Allah is nothing like life in us so it is important that we avoid the two exchange when it comes to the names and attributes of allah azza wajal and i want to conclude this talk before I open the floor for questions by narrating to you two stories incidents actually that occurred at lifetime the prophet sallallaahu you send them to show you really what is the purpose of these names and attributes of a lots of Hannah Montana why do we make such a big deal about it many people they get involved in trying to understand the reality of the names and attributes at the expense of the reason why you're studying it and these two incidents will help you understand the reason why we want to send in a man named Dan attributes of Allah there was a companion in the time of the prophet sallallaahu are you seldom who would recite in every single raka certain across whoo-hoo-hoo every single learner after certified to heaven will recite so today's loss so his companions complained the people behind him why do you always research to the next class he's not if you wish me to be your Imam this is what I will do otherwise find an imam other than me I will always do this so then they complain to the prophets allah wahda you seven so the process a time said ask him why does he do this so he responded the man responded I do it because sir the new class describes a Rehema describes my lord and I love to read about his descriptions the Prophet SAW said I'm said inform him that his love for this surah has caused him to enter Jannah surah technique flows his love for this surah has caused him to enter Jannah and one final incident that I'd like to conclude and this really shows you the the fruits and the benefits of this science is a beautiful hadith of the prophet sallallaahu centum narrated in the sunnah never imagined authentic chain in which the profits are sent him said that allah azza wajal laughs he laughs acts the despair one of his servants feels when he is in a difficult situation even though allah as mercy is just around the corner meaning that the meaning of the hadith is that a person is in a difficult situation okay and he is making drama making dua making dua and there is no response and he doesn't realize that within a few minutes or a few hours something will happen that will change the entire situation and make him get out of that evil so he is feeling so despondent so pessimistic Allah will not respond to my draw this and that and Allah finds this amusing funny that look at the servant of mine how easily he loses hope in me after all that I have blessed him with just a few hours goes by the Doozers hope with me and the mercy is around literally about to be revealed to him so the process of said Allah laughs mentis there was a companion by the name of a Buddha seen lucky didn't someone was his name kanya by Buddhism he said yeah de su la la tis our Lord laughs it's a question does our Lord laughs direct blunt question notice he didn't say how can he laughs what is the meaning of laughter laughter could not some of the groups of daeviation they start thinking along these times which defeats the whole purpose of us savant immediately he said this our Lord laughs the profitsystem said none yes I've always seen responded and this is exactly why we need to study the names attributes of Allah he said if that is the case that I will never give up hope of attaining good from Elohim laughs in other words his Eman just boost it up it just shot up to all new levels when he heard that Allah laughs he didn't think how can he laughs laughing means I would've been like it has teeth and this is what some of everything I do you you think I'm making this up I swear by the law and I have read this with my own two eyes because this is my speciality the books of the motorcade limited as always of Quran this is exactly what they say if a lot laughs this means that he has how we build our molars and the teeth and a throat this is the way they think so they say Allah cannot laugh and so they deny it look at the amount of this simple Sahabi this is why we need to study the names arduous as understood by the set of the early generations and we have to appoint the people of dilution and what they do because the names and attributes of Allah Allah revealed it for a purpose for a reason that our Iman goes up so what we hear that Allah laughs automatically are you mad you just shoot up to the skies Allah laughs subhanAllah and our hope in him our trust in Him should likewise increase when Allah says what job of a book oh I'm at your Lord will cover on the day of judgment we should become scared terrified there is no point in thinking how will they come coming means you must be a body out of the bonanno allah says he will come which are our book your lord will come on the day of judgment we should be struck with terror with fear our Lord Himself will come this is the point of a small event let us not lose track of this that we study it to increase our demand to increase our trust our and are loving Allah subhana WA Ta'ala and let us not forget that the only way to understand it properly if we really want to understand it the way to benefit is to turn back to the way of the early scholars the early generation they were the only group who really truly understood the names of Allah properly as these narrations show you and then after them came many groups who deviated from the path so if we wish to attain success in this field we and it all feels we need to turn back to them and understand the way they understood it and when this insha Allah will open the floor for questions about this topic well after that one and income denied of anatomy was all the local cinema barkhad Abdi was Elijah Wood says in the Quran Tabarrok Allah who is an authority this verse is mentioned after Allah mentions many of his signs many of the things and the objects that he has created and he describes how humans have been evolved in the womb of their of their mother and Allah brings about not knowing anything and he describes the stages of creation and he conclude this by saying Futaba come along Tabaka comes from the root Baraka which means to increase in all good okay so when we say tabarak allah what we are saying is that barakah or blessings and good only comes from allah subhanho wa taala there is no good except that Allah is the source of it as the Prophet SAW said I've said I'll hire good lugu be a day go a shuttle a sailing all good is only in your hands and no evil can be attributed to you so Tabarrok allah is that Allah is exalted all good comes from him although he is the one who increases all that I have axonal quality means the best of all creators now some of them are some anonymous some people of daeviation said that the best of all creators implies that there are creators besides Allah so kind of data therefore he is the best of the creators this is not true the we're getting into arabic language arabic philology external auditing does not necessarily imply that there are other creatures besides allah some of the groups such as a more intense a that they understood from this that there are creators besides allah I would have been done Allah says in the Quran that helman hadn't enjoyed Allah is there any creator besides Allah subhana WA Ta'ala as Allah says in the Quran Allah Allah Allah muhammadun Allah has created you and all that you do there is nothing except that is created by Allah subhana WA Ta'ala so they took this one misunderstanding of the verse external auditing and they ignore all the other verses which clearly show that only allah subhana wa da da is the creator the meaning of Aksum funny thing here it means the best of the creators but that doesn't imply that there are creators besides Allah hanim autonomy from above Omega of Okemah why do some people okay could you please explain I'm frankly I don't quite understand the intent of the question let me try to basically say that just because Allah is characterized by a characteristic it does not mean that that characteristic will be completely absent in anything else rather the opposite is true most of Allah's names and attributes are found in some way about the creation for example Rahman is not the mother merciful to her child are we not merciful to our spouses and children and mankind but does anyone compared to a las navas of course not any knowledge hiya life summer and bustle seeing and hearing we are characterized by this as well but does that mean there's a type of shift no of course not because the reality of the - the reality of our life versus the reality of the life of Allah is as different as Allah is from us the reality of a lost knowledge to our knowledge is as different as Allah is to us and so on and so forth so likewise allah azzawajal is a hacker meaning the judge no in a finding that no one has the right to judge except Allah however this does not mean that Allah so agent has not given portions of this right to others in certain areas the funny for example this is what I understand Allah bottom ethnicity intent the hanifa the Muslim Khalifa is allowed in certain areas to enact laws Allah has given him that right for example I may give a tribute example traffic laws for example how do we had a example are you going to say that the Khalifa cannot tell us to stop at the red light because it's not in the Quran of course not he has been given these type of rites by allah azza wajal that it is for the betterment of society that we have the type of awesome but can he abrogate what is found in the Quran and Sunnah of course not as well so there are certain areas and this is well discussed in the books the fit from the books of Arpita and the books of of Islamic law you have a camisole tani and other books of my worthy and others they discuss these topics in detail it is it is very clear which acts and which laws we are not allowed to tamper with it at all and which areas we have the right to legislate and this Allah has given us this right and this is not a permanent legislation it is a temporary legislation for our period and time this is the understanding I have of this question and the lives which are knows best if this was what this person intended you know there are some fake names of Allah on killing these cows the one that you know it's been a while I think I Rashid is one of them a Rashid is not found in the Quran and the authentic Sunnah and this does not appear to be an authentic name of Allah so tell also in many of these charts the name of Rob is not mentioned and yet now Rob is one of the most common names okay some of these charts you find out Rob is not there and yet Rob as we know is one of the most common names of allah azza wajal there was one more I think sure and now this too is not mentioned authentic honey but each other and also realize that there is more than one charm so there's different types of charts the point being that the prophet's awesome did not tell us which are these 1990s there is a hadith which is a nativity but by unanimous consensus of all the scholars of heading and no we imaginative Bonnie all of them they say that this idea is not authentic okay so this hadith has certain names that are not found in other authentic narrations and it not from the Quran and they miss out a very clear authentic name so therefore this is another factor which politico's it is not authentic and as I said they are more than one of these charts but the name that comes to right now - - my average sheet also there isn't enough about unknown is a last name and no more news about you without there's and if they live somewhere them I say that unknown is the name of Allah and this seems to be a strong opinion others say no the actual name is no semi what you will know and many I mean this again this is a very fine point you clean up on each other the question is interested they can email me I can look at a specific product and look at them which things are not mentioned in the Quran answer you
