Questions on the Explanation of the Book of Nullifiers of Islam

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He asks: Is a person who disagrees with the scholars of the Salaf in creed, such as the disagreement regarding the interpretation of the verse of Allah the Exalted,
and then established Himself above the Throneثُمَّ اسْتَوَىٰ عَلَى الْعَرْشِ
[Al-Furqan 25:59]
, considered to be in opposition to the people of the Sunnah and the community?

Answer:
Without a doubt, if one interprets istiwaa' (rising above the Throne) as "seizing control," as the Asha'irah and others say, this is in opposition to the people of the Sunnah and the community. The people of the Sunnah and the community say that He istawa' (rose above) as Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) said, meaning He rose and elevated Himself above the Throne, that is, He rose and elevated Himself above the Throne. It does not mean He seized control, because seizing control is not specific to the Throne. Allah has seized control of all the dominion, the heavens and the earth and what is between them; all of it is under Allah's control, and He is in His dominion. So, the Throne: He istawa' (rose above) it, meaning He rose and elevated Himself above it.
He rose and elevated Himself above it, (Glorified and Exalted is He), and He is the highest of the created things. The Throne is the highest and greatest of the created things. Yes.
