Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: You mentioned, may Allah preserve you, that the attribute of being above (al-'ulu) for Allah is a permanent attribute of action.
Answer:
No, I did not say it is an attribute of action. The attribute of being above (al-'ulu) for Allah is an attribute of essence. It is not an attribute of action. It is the attribute of rising above the Throne (istiwa') that is an attribute of action. Yes.
