May Allah paak give keep you on haq and keep you strong in your Imaan .
As-salamu 'alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh. Mash'Allah! This is an excellent and beneficial lecture, dear Shaykh Asrar! With regard to the heretical issue proposed, that Allah ("Al-Haqq") must, within "possibility", have the power to lie, lest His Omnipotence and Eternal and Infinite Truth be vitiated, I wish to suggest that the English adjectives "possible" and "impossible" really exacerbate this argument. Indeed, the etymology of the English adjective "possible" ascribes the (circa) thirteenth (13th) century Anglo-Latin _"posse"_ (to have power; to be able), and the (circa) fourteenth (14th) century Latin _"possibilis"_ (that which can be done). Given this rendering as a theological term, the notion that it is "impossible" for Allah to lie (extrinsically and/or intrinsically) -- that Allah Ta'Ala does not have the power, or is not able, to lie -- seems an imperfect term for this task, namely: the task of negating the imperfection of deception for Allah, Al-Haqq. As such, perhaps a better English term for Ulema to adopt for this task would be the adjective "conceivable" (and/or "inconceivable"). "Conceivable" derives from the Old French (thirteenth century [circa]) _"conceiven"_ and the Latin _"concipere"_ (primarily, through its past participle, _"conceptus"_ ), meaning to "take in and hold or retain; to become pregnant". Thus, given this rendering, the statement may be read: it is inconceivable -- beyond comprehension, that which cannot be conceived of, that which cannot be assimilated or taken into the mind (to form a correct perception) -- for Allah, Al-Haqq, to beguile, to deceive, to lie, etc., because Allah Ta'Ala is Eternally and Infinitely Truthful. Furthermore, the usage of conceivable/inconceivable, rather than possible/impossible (during English language discourse), reorients the focus of this question away from deliberations concerning Divine Omnipotence and temporal impotence, and focuses the necessary scholastic criticism on the (often fallible) human conception or understanding of Allah Ta'Ala, that is, what is and is not a conceivable Attribute for Allah Ta'Ala. However, in conclusion, I am a great fan of Shaykh Asrar: I wish Australia had a noble scholar like him, whom we could follow with certainty and hope. I in no way endorse the heretical theology of the Deobandiyya. Love from Australia. Allahu Hafiz
A correction: Bast al Banan was not written after the death of Imam Ahmad Rida Khan as claimed at 1 hr 40 mins in the video. It is dated Shaban Hijri 1329/1911 AD, 10 years before his death.
ابن تيمية وإن كان ذاع صيته وكثرت مؤئفاته وأتباعه، هو كما قال فيه المحدث الحافظ الفقيه ولي الدين العراقي ابن شيخ الحفاظ زين الدين العراقي في كتابه الأجوبة المرضية على الأسئلة المكية: "علمه أكبر من عقله "، وقال أيضا: "إنه خزق الإجماع في مسائل كثيرة قيل تبلغ ستين مسألة بعضها في الأصول وبعضها في الفروع خالف فيها بعد انعقاد الإجماع عليها". اه. وتبعه على ذلك خلق من العوام وغيرهم، فأسرع علماء عصره في الرد عليه وتبديعه، منهم الإمام الحافظ تقي الدين علي ابن عبد الكافي السبكي في الدرة المضية

Good speech

an excellent speech with regards to the honour of sayyiduna Muhammad saws
+Dee Q don't write saws but write the salutations in full
+meow meow salaam. I've heard that before in regards the writing or typing saws... can you expand on this more. JazakAllah
Messi lionel Wa alaikum salam wa rahmatullah wbarakatu. The correction adab would be to write the salutations in full without abbreviations
Ok. Ma sha Allah. I see. So it's out of respect. JazakAllah.
