an-Nooniyyah: Tape 3

-Making Ta’teel involves making Tashbeeh over something which is presumed to be better.
E.g Allah doesn’t Speak because of Tashbeeh with something that has power to speak from the creation.
E.g He is not over His Ursh because of Tasbeeh over something who had free-will and rose over something else from the creation.

-The Mu’tazilah say Allah wasn’t able but then became able - in order to get away from eternal regression.

Meaning, they say He was always Able then there is no beginning point of creation and the loop of creation continues with no beginning.

Response:
1. If you say Allah is unable - this is a deficiency.
2. If you say His inability is perfection, then Allah has freed Himself from this in various places. 
3. If He did an action after inability this is deficiency also, because you are saying He wasn’t able before or didn’t have Ilm or Decree or power over it before.
4. If you say He was unable and then became able then this has no cause and is idleness in reality, because you are presuming He wasn’t always al-Khaliq.

And Allah Knows best.
