Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
It states that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) described the Throne of the Most Merciful as a dome, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) indicated this with his finger. What is the authenticity of this hadith, and is there any other evidence for this besides it?
Answer:
The hadith is valid, and the Throne is like a dome over the created things, because it encompasses them; it encompasses the created things, so it is like a dome over them. It is their ceiling and their highest point, and it is the ceiling of al-Firdaus. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: So the Throne is above the created things, and the dome encompasses them.

If you ask Allah for Paradise, ask Him for al-Firdaus, for it is the highest part of Paradise and the middle of Paradise, and above it is the Throne of the Most Merciful (Glorified and Exalted is He).
إذا سألتم الله الجنة فاسألوه الفردوس، فإنه أعلى الجنة ووسط الجنة وسفه أو فوقه عرش الرحمن سبحانه وتعالى،
