The ruling on asking which is greater: the Throne or the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him)?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is this question a valid one, which is greater, the Throne or Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him)?
Answer:
My brother, there is no need for this talk, nor for this question. This is a question with no benefit behind it. Muhammad is great, without doubt, and the Throne is great, but we do not say which is greater. Greater in what? What do you mean by greater? In creation, or in status? There is absolutely no need for this talk. Yes.
