The claim that Allah descends throughout the year
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: What is your view of what one of those who claims knowledge says, namely that Allah descends throughout the year?
The Shaykh:
No, it is not permissible to say this about Allah without knowledge. It is said that He descends every night when the last third of the night remains, every night. Is it said throughout the year? Where did you get this statement from?
The presenter:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh.
The Shaykh:
I told you not to innovate; you are cured by what is with you. What the Salaf of this Ummah and the imams of the people of the Sunnah and the community said is sufficient for you. Follow their path; it is sufficient for you. And Ibn Mas'ud says: Do not innovate, for you have been provided with what is sufficient.
