The verse “And the Day the sky will split open with clouds” and its relation to the attribute of coming
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: When establishing the attribute of coming (I'tiyān) for Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He), the author (may Allah have mercy on him) cited this verse:[Al-Baqarah 2:210]? Then he cited the following words of the Exalted: [Al-Furqan 25:25], even though it does not attribute the action of coming to Allah. In the marginal notes, one of them wrote that in its context, this verse does not mention the coming, but it points to it, because the splitting of the sky by clouds only occurs for the coming of Allah. Is what he mentioned correct?
The Shaykh:
This is an overstretch and there is no need for it. Yes.
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success.
The Shaykh:
Who is the one who wrote the notes on the book? It is harsh on him. Huh?
The questioner:
And he mentioned it.
The Shaykh:
Yes, he should bring us this statement and bring the copy and look at it. A person does not intervene in anything related to the names and attributes except with knowledge.

Do they await but that Allah should come to them in covers of clouds and the angels [as well] and the matter is [then] decided?
هَلْ يَنظُرُونَ إِلَّا أَن يَأْتِيَهُمُ اللَّهُ فِي ظُلَلٍ مِّنَ الْغَمَامِ وَالْمَلَائِكَةُ وَقُضِيَ الْأَمْرُAnd [mention] the Day when the heaven will split open with [emerging] clouds, and the angels will be sent down in successive descent.
وَيَوْمَ تَشَقَّقُ السَّمَاءُ بِالْغَمَامِ وَنُزِّلَ الْمَلَائِكَةُ تَنزِيلًاThe Shaykh:
This is an overstretch and there is no need for it. Yes.
