What is understood from the verb "to come" when ascribed to Allah?
Jawaban
Imām Ibn al-Jawzī (d. 597/1201) summarized the scholars' opinions in his book "Zād al-Masīr" as follows:
- A group of the Pious Predecessors (Salaf) refrained from speaking about such texts.
- Al-Qāḍī Abū Yaʿlā relates that Aḥmad said: "What is meant by it is that His power and command come (i.e. become manifest)." He commented: this has been made explicit in the verse: "Or the command of your Lord comes" (6:158).
