The questioner:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner asks: Do those who carry the Throne carry only the Throne, or do they carry the Throne and what is above it, or is it not permissible to delve into that?
The Shaykh:
You have mixed things up in this. What do you want with this question? Leave this. We believe in the Throne, we believe in the bearers of the Throne, and we believe in the rising of Allah above the Throne as it has come, and we do not intervene in questions. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: You mentioned with us that Noah (peace be upon him) called his people to the oneness of Allah in
The Shaykh:
Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah says: Whoever thinks, by the saying of Allah the Exalted[Taha 20:5], that the Throne is being carried, has lied, because it is Allah who [Fatir 35:41], so He holds the Throne, the heavens, and the earth, (Glorified and Exalted is He), not that they hold it or that they carry it, (Glorified and Exalted is He). But delving into this is not necessary. Yes.

يُمْسِكُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ أَن تَزُولَا
