Question:
The Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, asks: In al-Qahthani’s statement in the *Nuniyyah*, “And Allah, in the Qur’an, informed him that He comes without moving or approaching,” do we affirm or deny the attribute of movement for Allah?
Answer:
I mean, my intention is that He comes without the movement of the created being, not like the movement of the created being. Rather, He comes however He wills, (Glorified and Exalted is He). We do not say that He moves, or that this is what came in the text without evidence.
The presenter:
Yes.
