Ill-formed logic while discussing Names and Attributes of Allaah?

بسم الله والحمد لله والصلاة والسلام على رسول الله ، وبعد

The Manhaj of the Salaf is Safer, more Knowledgeable and Wiser in comparison to those who rely on their own ill-formed logic.

In numerous places in the Qur’aan, Allaah تعالى says:

﴿إِنَّ اللَّـهَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ﴾

which is translated as:

{Certainly, Allaah has power over all things}

Or

{Verily, Allaah is Able to do all things}


And Shaikh al-Islaam, Ibn Taymiyyah رحمه الله said:

“As for Ahl al-Sunnah, in their view, Allaah تعالى has power over all things, and everything that is possible is included in that. As for that which is inherently impossible, such a thing both existing and being non-existent, there is no reality in it and its existence cannot be imagined, so it cannot be called a “thing” according to the consensus of the wise (people). This includes the idea of creating another like Himself, and so on.” [Minhaaj al-Sunnah al-Nabawiyyah (2/293)]

۩۞۩

And then we have Dr. Zakir Naik who uses his logic to say:

“There are a 1000 (Thousand) things I can list which God Almighty can’t do.”

۩۞۩

We ask Allaah تعالى to guide us to Sabeel al-Rashaad (the way of right conduct).
