The questioner:
We have heard one of the students of knowledge say that the rising above the Throne is an attribute of action, and then he said that it is an attribute of essence because it has become inseparable from the divine essence. Is his second statement correct?
The Shaykh:
There is a point to consider regarding his second statement.
The presenter:
Yes.
The Shaykh:
The rising above the Throne is an attribute of action, and therefore Allah ordered it after the creation of the heavens and the earth,[Yunus 10:3]. As for the elevation, it is an attribute of action, an attribute of essence. As for the elevation, it is an attribute of essence that does not separate from Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). As for the rising above the Throne, it is an attribute of action that He does when He wills (Glorified and Exalted is He), and it is not an attribute of essence. Yes.
