Question:
Honorable Shaykh, what is the meaning of what some of the Sufis say, that Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) responds, counts, and descends, and that this is above his intellect?
Answer:
We do not address the manner. We affirm that Allah is above His Throne and that He is in the height, and we affirm that He comes and descends, just as He has affirmed that for Himself. As for the manner, Allah knows it best.
