The Position of the People of the Sunnah Regarding the Descent of Allah to the Lowest Heaven

Question:
He says: May Allah reward you, what is your position regarding the descent of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) to the lowest heaven at the end of the night?

Answer:
It is reported from the Messenger of Allah. This is a mass-transmitted report that Allah descends every night to the lowest heaven when one-third of the night remains. This is among the attributes of action, the actions of Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He). He descends in a manner befitting His majesty (Glorified and Exalted is He). We do not delve into the modality, how He descends. We do not delve into the modality, but we affirm the descent as it came from Allah and His Messenger, and we do not address its modality. This is the methodology regarding all the names and attributes: we affirm them for Allah, but we do not address their modality, because no one knows them except Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He).
