being composite (التَّرْكِيب)
علوم القرآن العقيدة
التعريف :
An objection to a case of analogy on the basis that is composite in essence or composite in description. This is one of the objections to analogy.
المعنى الاصطلاحي :
The Divine Essence being composed of the Divine Attributes.
الشرح المختصر :
"Tarkeeb" (composition) is the act of joining things together, whether they are harmonious or not and placed in order or not. It is a term used by sects of the heretical innovators to mean the compound of essence and attributes. Since a compound needs parts to become whole, they, thus, use it to deny the attributes of Allah Almighty. "Tarkeeb", in this sense, is a term that they invented, and it is neither known in the Arabic language, nor was it used in the Qur’an and the Sunnah. If they call the acknowledgement of the attributes of Allah "tarkeeb", then the reply is that what counts is the meaning, and not the wording.
التعريف اللغوي المختصر :
"Tarkeeb": placing something upon another. "Rakkaba": to put something together and join one part to another to form one structure.
