  • Alaah is attributed with numerous attributes, not just 13 or 99
  • Some attributes were mentioned numerous times in the Qur'an
  • Allah must be attributed with Power
  • It is an attribute of Himself
  • Allah creates with His Power
  • He takes things out of existence
  • When we say "things" we mean the creations
  • The mental possibility and intellectual possibility
  • He said "Allah has the Power to have a child"
  • That is Blasphemy
  • We don't say Allah has the Power to have a child
  • Having a child is an attribute of the creation
  • The child resembles the parent
  • No one resmebles Allah. No Similarity
  • So Allah does not have children
  • The Power of Allah is not related to the mental impossibility
  • We do not say neither
  • It is impossible for Allah to have a child
  • You can say about the creation that he is weak
  • The power of the creation is limited
  • It is blasphemous to attribute to Allah attributes of weakness and attributes of deficiency
  • If something is impossible we do not say that Allah created that
  • Rather we say that the Power of Allah is not related to the mental impossibility
  • Allah is not related to the mental impossibility
  • The atheists try to confuse the believer
  • The question itself is flawed
  • It is saying that the impossible is possible
  • We respond by saying that the question is flawed
  • Because the question involves a contradiction
  • He is asking, "can the Eternal One create another eternal?" invalid question
  • The question is flawed
  • Does the one with no beginning have a beginning- contradiction
  • The One who is eternal always exists
  • We don't say yes or no
  • It is blasphemy to attribute to Allah weakness
  • We say the Power of Allah is not related to the mental impossibility
  • We don't say yes or no
  • The sound mind necessitates that there is a God
  • The mind does not accept it's nonexistence
  • There is a difference between "existence" and something "coming into existence"
  • When we say "existence" that can refer to the creation or the Creator
  • When we say "brought into existence" that only refers to the creation
  • The more one studies these matters the more quickly they can comprehend it
  • The Knowledge of Allah is eternal
  • He knows about Himself
  • He knows about His creations even though they are not eternal
  • Allah is not attributed with learning
  • His Knowledge encompasses everything
  • Anything that has created attributes is created
  • Everything that exists has attributes
  • Something does not exist without having attributes
  • If something has created attributes it did not exist before it's attributes
  • Acquiring new knowledge is an attribute of the creation
  • Not knowing is ignorance
  • Attributing to Allah ignorance is blasphemy
  • Saying that Allah received new knowledge is blasphemy
  • The Qur'an is filled with guidance
  • He knew with his eternal Knowledge that there would be weakness in you
  • Allah eternally knew everything
  • He test the creations
  • Life is a test
  • He gave us the will by which we choose
  • We have a will by which we choose
  • Allah knew eternally
  • It becomes apparent for us who is obedient and who is disobedient
  • Life is among the necessary attributes of Allah
  • The evidence is the existance of the creations
  • With our sound senses it is confirmed
  • Allah is not a self that is composed of smaller parts
  • There is no self like the self of Allah
  • No one has attributes like Allah
  • No one creates other than Allah
  • Once you know the meaning it's easy to clarify to others
  • It is not Oneness in reference to numbers
  • No one is like him whatsoever
  • The evidence is that the Creator must be attributed with Life
  • To say that there are two Creators is blasphemy
  • Two different wills is possible
  • Each one of them is not forced to will what the other willed
  • Whatever is forced is weak, whatever is weak is not God
  • It's impossible for both of their wills to come into existence
  • The weak one is not attributed with Godhood
  • Anything other than Allah is a creation
  • They are in need of the one who brought it into existence
  • All of the creations have a beginning
  • The best of the centuries is Prophet Muhammad(PBUH) his century
