The Ruling on the Shadow of Allah in the Hadith
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, is the shadow of Allah mentioned in the hadith on the Day of Resurrection a created thing, or is it specific to Allah alone?
The Shaykh:
In some narrations, it is the shadow of His Throne. The intended meaning is the shadow of the Throne, the shadow of the Throne. Is it not among the attributes of Allah (Mighty and Majestic)? Yes.
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, some scholars say it should be left as it appears and not interpreted. As for the opinion of Shaykh 'Abd al-'Aziz (may Allah have mercy on him), he says it should be left as it appears and not interpreted. But in some narrations, it is under the shadow of the Throne, from the shadow to the Throne,
The Shaykh:
So perhaps this explains that narration.
