Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
The shirk (associating partners with Allah) in the statement of Allah the Exalted: "And say: The Lord of the Throne is the Noble." The Noble is attributed to the Lord, Mighty and Majestic. How can the Throne be noble?
The Shaykh:
Nobility is a form of preciousness. A thing is called noble when it is precious, just as precious stones are called precious, meaning valuable. So, nobility refers to preciousness and quality. Thus, the Noble Throne means the precious, high-quality one. Yes, it is not the type of nobility that means giving and bestowing. No, the type of nobility that means preciousness and quality. Yes.
