All praise is due to Allaah. We praise Him, seek His aid and His Forgiveness. We seek refuge in Allaah fromthe evils of our souls and the evils of our actions. Whomsoever Allaah guides there is none to misguide himand whomsoever Allaah misguides there is none to guide him. I bear witness that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah alone without any partners and I bear witness that Muhammad is His Servant andMessenger.

MPLICATION
If the Name refers to a transitive description,
1
then it includes three things:
[1]
An established Name of Allaah, the Mighty and Majestic,
[2]
An established Attribute that is included in the meaning of the Name,
2
[3]
And an established ruling and implication.For example, if we say Allaah is
Al-Ghafaar
(Allaah Forgave) in English, we are waiting for the object (or thirdparty). Who did Allaah Forgive? Allaah Forgave a man or woman. So, from the Name
Al-Ghafaar
(the All-Forgiving) we understand that this is a title to Allaah firstly, and secondly it is a reference that Allaah has the Attribute of Forgiveness. And thirdly, there must be a
magh
foor lah
(someone who is forgiven). So this Nameindicates that some of the creation are affected by this Attribute since they will be forgiven by Him. Another example, the people of knowledge have said that highway robbers who repent (before being caught)may be exempted from punishment, using as proof the Statement of Allaah, the Exalted:
{
z
As for those who repented before they fell into your power,then know that Allaah is All-Forgiving, All-Merciful. [5:34]
This is because the related ruling and implication of these two Names is that Allaah, the Exalted, has forgiventhem of their sins and bestowed Mercy on them by cancelling the legislated punishment.So when Allaah mentioned these two Names at the end of the verse, it was all three things intended,
[1]
A reference to Allaah,
[2]
A reference to His two Attributes of Forgiveness and Mercy
[3]
And an indication that if robbers or thieves turn themselves in to the authorities before they arecaptured, then they should receive forgiveness and mercy. They should be excused from thepunishment of the crime. An illustration of this principle is that
as-Samee`
(the All-Hearing) includes:
1
In Arabic (
) a description that includes a direct external effect, like the Name
as-Samee`
(the All-Hearing)and how it affects others, in that Allaah hears them. The opposite of this, a non-transitive description, does not includeany external effect, like
al-Hayy
(the Ever-Living) for example.
2
Each of Allaah's Names refers to an Attribute by way of
tadam-mun
.
Tadam-mum
is discussed thoroughly in the nextprinciple.
