Eid Al Adha 2025 Birmingham By Abu Idrees

Covered in this lesson:

- Question 55. How many ways or types of indications are there that point to the Names of Allāh? – and its answer.
- Question 56. What is an example of that (i.e. His Names and what they indicate)? – and its answer.
Notes and points of benefit:

- These two questions enter into a very important topic with great significance, in understanding the Names and Attributes of Allāh. Through this one will see the misguidance of Ahlul-Kalām, and what Allāh can be described with and what He cannot be described with.

- Regarding Q55, the answer of Shaykh Hāfidh Al-Hakamī’s (رحمه الله) which mentions three types/categories:

1) mutābaqah (corresponding, agreement, conformity) – which points to the Essence of Allāh.
2) tadammun -by way of inclusion.
3) iltizām – by way of necessitation.

- Given this is a technical discussion, the example of the word ‘house’ was provided and elaborated upon to assist in understanding and comprehending this subject matter.

- It is futile that the word Ar-Rahīm points to a being without the attribute of mercy. Why have all these Names, do they not point to attributes? This is the way of the Mu’tazilah who affirm the Names but hold there is no attribute behind them, which is futile.

- There is a distinction between Allāh having a Name and the creation having a name e.g. Hakīm – Allāh has this attribute but the creation may not even though someone may be named that name, a person named Hakīm might actually be jāhil.

- The explanation of Shaykh ‘Uthaimīn (رحمه الله).

- Regarding Q56, the answer of Shaykh Hāfidh Al-Hakamī’s (رحمه الله) where the example of the Names Ar-Rahmān (The Most Merciful) and Ar-Rahīm (The Bestower of Mercy) are provided and how the three types/categories are applied to these two Names, which is also the case with all the rest of the Names of Allāh.
