16
Scholars must make clear that Allah Most High’s attributes are free of the deficiencies that the ignorant imagine in them, and that the words of Allah and His Messenger do not imply any such deficiency. They must also explain that the Quran is clarification, guidance and healing. If anyone nevertheless goes astray through it, that is due to his own negligence. As the Most High says:
“And We send down of the Quran that which is healing and mercy for the believers, but it increases the wrongdoers only in loss.”
And He says:
“Say, ‘For those who believe, it is guidance and healing.’ But those who do not believe have deafness in their ears, and it is blindness for them.”
وَيَجِبُ عَلَى أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ أَنْ يُبَيِّنُوا نَفْيَ مَا يَظُنُّهُ الْجُهَّالُ مِنْ النَّقْصِ فِي صِفَاتِ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى وَأَنْ يُبَيِّنُوا صَوْنَ كَلَامِ اللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ عَنْ الدَّلَالَةِ عَلَى شَيْءٍ مِنْ ذَلِكَ وَأَنَّ الْقُرْآنَ بَيَانٌ وَهُدًى وَشِفَاءٌ؛ وَإِنْ ضَلَّ بِهِ مَنْ ضَلَّ فَإِنَّهُ مِنْ جِهَةِ تَفْرِيطِهِ؛
كَمَا قَالَ تَعَالَى:
{وَنُنَزِّلُ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ مَا هُوَ شِفَاءٌ وَرَحْمَةٌ لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَلَا يَزِيدُ الظَّالِمِينَ إلَّا خَسَارًا}
وَقَوْلُهُ:
{قُلْ هُوَ لِلَّذِينَ آمَنُوا هُدًى وَشِفَاءٌ وَالَّذِينَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ فِي آذَانِهِمْ وَقْرٌ وَهُوَ عَلَيْهِمْ عَمًى}
