Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
And other than the Shaykh, it is reported in the preceding chains regarding the meaning, and he said that istiwa' is istila' (dominion). It is certain that if the meaning of istiwa' were istila' or command, that would not be the case except for those who came after the emirs and the present, and fifty or more.
Answer:
It is clear: if the intended meaning were dominion, then Allah is the Owner of dominion always and forever. His dominion over a thing does not delay until after the creation of the heavens and the earth. Allah is the Owner of all things always and forever. No new dominion or new possession has occurred for Him after He was not. Yes.
