Semi-negative adjectives and the response to them
0:13
The invalid claims that the attributes of God Almighty are denied
0:18
They are only exalting God Almighty and uniting Him with this denial
0:24
Their similarity in this is that proving the attribute
0:28
It requires likening God to His creatures
0:31
Because we do not know the attribute of existence except for creatures
0:36
If we prove it to God Almighty
0:39
We likened Him to His creatures
0:42
The answer to this is that it is not necessary in any case to prove the attribute by analogy
0:48
Rather, we affirm the attribute of the Creator without likening it to the attribute of the creature
0:53
The creatures themselves share some characteristics
0:57
And they are not similar
0:59
Man has a hand and animals have a hand
1:03
There is a difference between the two hands, and they are created things
1:07
Rather, the common value between the attributes exists only in the mind
1:12
Without the reality and truth of the matter
1:15
How about the Creator who is distinct from his creatures in all his attributes?
1:20
Which is all perfection and majesty
1:23
Secondly
1:25
Their claim is that there are multiple attributes
1:28
It leads to the statement of multiple selves
1:31
Because if we prove the attributes of God
1:34
She would have been as old as him
1:36
This leads to the statement of the multiplicity of ancients
1:40
It contradicts monotheism
1:42
The answer to that is that it is nonsense and delirium
1:47
The attributes of God Almighty exist in Himself
1:51
And not alone
1:53
They are attributes of majesty and perfection of one essence
1:57
Third
2:00
As for the Ash'aris, they affirmed that God has only seven attributes and not the rest
2:06
They fell into contradiction
2:09
Both the Sunnis and the Mu'talla responded to them
2:13
By proving these seven qualities
2:16
Which you say the mind indicated
2:20
It traps you into the alleged analogy that you claim to escape from
2:25
Each of these qualities has been confirmed by God for Himself in His Noble Book
2:31
He has proven it to other of His creatures
2:35
Although the exact nature of its nature differs
2:38
God Almighty described Himself with power and said:
2:43
God is powerful over everything
2:47
He described some of the creatures with power, saying:
2:51
Except those who repented before you gained power over them
2:56
They knew that God is Forgiving and Merciful
3:00
But we say that God Almighty has true power
3:05
It befits His perfection and majesty, Glory be to Him
3:09
Creatures also have abilities that are appropriate to their condition, inability, and mortality
3:15
There is a difference between the two abilities
3:18
Just as there is a difference between the essence of the Creator and the essences of the creatures
3:23
And so it is with all the other seven attributes
3:26
God Almighty described Himself with will and said:
3:31
His command, when He wants something, is to say to it, “Be,” and it is
3:38
He described some creatures with will, saying:
3:42
You want the offer of this world, but God wants the afterlife
3:47
He described Himself, the Almighty, as knowledgeable, and said:
3:51
And God is All-Knowing of all things
3:54
He described some of the creatures with knowledge, saying:
3:58
We give you good news of a knowledgeable boy
4:02
He described himself as alive and said:
4:05
God, there is no god but He, the Ever-Living, the Ever-Subsisting
4:10
He described some of his creatures as life, saying:
4:14
And We made from water every living thing
4:18
He described Himself, the Almighty, with hearing and sight, saying:
4:23
God is All-Hearing and All-Seeing
4:27
He described the created human being as All-Hearing and All-Seeing. He said:
4:33
We created man from the sperm of gametes to test him
4:40
So We made him All-Hearing and All-Seeing
4:43
He described himself in words and said, Glory be to Him
4:47
God spoke to Moses specifically
4:51
And he said
4:53
And when Moses came to Our time and his Lord spoke to him
4:58
He described some of the creatures in words, saying:
5:02
When he spoke to him, he said, “Today we have a trustworthy person.”
5:09
What the Ash'arites claim is that proving the attributes requires simile
5:15
They must adhere to the seven qualities that they recognize in their minds
5:20
Even if they said that the seven attributes are fixed for God in what befits His majesty and perfection
5:28
It is not like the attributes of created beings
5:31
We tell them
5:32
So you need to generalize this to the question of attributes
5:36
Which God confirmed for Himself and His Messenger, may God bless him and grant him peace, confirmed for him
5:43
There is no truth to what you claim about the difference between the attributes of the essence and the attributes of meanings
5:49
Otherwise, you are contradictory in your prayers
5:53
So the bottom line
5:55
It is the necessity of proving everything that God has proven to Himself
5:59
And what His Messenger, may God bless him and grant him peace, confirmed to him of beautiful names and sublime attributes
6:06
It is certain that they are all real characteristics
6:10
It befits the majesty and perfection of God Almighty
6:14
It differs from the characteristics of created beings that suit their condition, which is not devoid of incapacity
6:20
And it is doomed to annihilation
6:23
There is a difference between the descriptions of Him, Glory be to Him, and the descriptions of His creatures
6:28
It is as between the essence of the Creator and the essences of the created beings, with distinction and difference
6:34
