Zakir Naik – Allahs Unique Names and Attributes

00:00:01 --> 00:00:02

I've got 5 categories.

00:00:03 --> 00:00:04

Number 1,

00:00:04 --> 00:00:06

the description of Allah.

00:00:07 --> 00:00:09

You can only give the way he or

00:00:09 --> 00:00:11

his prophet has described him. You cannot give

00:00:11 --> 00:00:13

your own description of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.

00:00:14 --> 00:00:15

Number 2,

00:00:16 --> 00:00:19

you cannot give names to Allah except what

00:00:19 --> 00:00:21

Allah and his prophet have given him.

00:00:22 --> 00:00:24

You cannot say Allah is Al Khadib. The

00:00:24 --> 00:00:27

Quran says Allah gets angry, but you cannot

00:00:27 --> 00:00:29

say the angry one because the prophet and

00:00:29 --> 00:00:31

Allah never gave that name to him.

00:00:32 --> 00:00:33

You cannot give the attributes

00:00:34 --> 00:00:35

of the creation

00:00:36 --> 00:00:37

of Allah to Allah.

00:00:38 --> 00:00:41

You cannot say he repented like the Bible

00:00:41 --> 00:00:42

says, God repented.

00:00:42 --> 00:00:44

That's the quality of his creation.

00:00:44 --> 00:00:45

Allah cannot repent.

00:00:46 --> 00:00:48

You cannot give the qualities of Allah

00:00:48 --> 00:00:49

to his creation.

00:00:50 --> 00:00:52

You cannot say I know a person who

00:00:52 --> 00:00:54

is absolutely eternal. No beginning, no end. That

00:00:54 --> 00:00:56

is the quality of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.

00:00:56 --> 00:00:59

And you cannot give the name of Allah

00:00:59 --> 00:01:00

to any of his creation. You cannot call

00:01:00 --> 00:01:02

anyone a Rahim.

00:01:02 --> 00:01:04

If you have to call, you have to

00:01:04 --> 00:01:06

add Abdi before it. Abdul Rahim,

00:01:07 --> 00:01:08

Abdullah.

00:01:09 --> 00:01:11

In brief, this is Toid al Mustafa.

00:01:11 --> 00:01:14

And Toid al Ibada means that besides

00:01:15 --> 00:01:17

believing in Allah, you only worship him and

00:01:17 --> 00:01:18

no one is.

00:01:19 --> 00:01:21

If you believe in the first two categories

00:01:21 --> 00:01:21

of tawhid,

00:01:24 --> 00:01:26

at the same time you worship somebody else,

00:01:27 --> 00:01:28

you're breaking the third rule of.
