The claim that Allah sits on the Throne
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: It is mentioned in some books of 'aqidah (creed) that Allah sits on the Throne. Yes. How authentic is this statement?
Answer:
What has come and been established in the Qur'an is[As-Sajdah 32:4], so we affirm that He rose above the Throne. As for Him sitting, it requires valid evidence, or sitting down, sitting or sitting down, or it requires evidence. What Allah has attributed to Himself we affirm, and what has not been established, we do not attribute to Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He).
The presenter:
May Allah reward you
