Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The Shaykh was asked about the phrase of Allah the Exalted, "Lord of the Throne, the Noble": Does the word "Kareem" (Noble) refer to the Lord (Mighty and Majestic), or does it mean that the Throne is noble?
Answer:
"Karamah" (nobility) comes from "nafaasah" (excellence or preciousness). A thing is called "kareem" (noble) when it is excellent or precious, just as precious stones are called "al-hajar al-karim" (precious stones), meaning they are valuable. So, "karam" here means excellence and quality. Thus, "al-'Arsh al-Kareem" (the Noble Throne) means the excellent, high-quality Throne. Yes, it is not the "karam" that means giving and generosity. No, it is the "karam" that means excellence and quality. Yes.
