Answer to the one who said: The elevation of Allah is only the elevation of His Essence and the elevation of His Status, and there is no elevation of dominion

The questioner:
The Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, says: Regarding the statement of the one who said, or the statement of the poet: "The elevation of our Lord, according to the trustworthy ones, is the elevation of His Essence along with the attributes, as for the elevation of His dominion, they replied with what came before, for from it they derive it." He said that the elevation is only the elevation of Essence and the elevation of Status, and it does not divide into a third part, which is the elevation of dominion. What is the correctness of this statement?

The Shaykh:
That is, he denies the saying of Allah the Exalted: He denies the One, the Subduer. This is a false statement, but perhaps the questioner did not understand the words of the poet, and we do not know about him. I am afraid that this poet is one of the new pretenders to knowledge. Yes.

The presenter:
The Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, asks: Is the challenge in the creation of the creatures?

The Shaykh:
Allah, Exalted and Majestic is He, is affirmed to have elevation in its three meanings: the elevation of Essence, the elevation of status, and the elevation of dominion. The people of the Sunnah and the community are in agreement that these three meanings of elevation are affirmed for Allah. As for the innovators, they deny the elevation of Essence and affirm only the elevation of status and the elevation of dominion. Yes.
