Question:
He says regarding the verse, Honorable Shaykh, in this blessed verse:[Al-A'raf 7:54]
Answer:
Yes, the verse is clear that Allah created the heavens and the earth in six days, and He is capable of creating them in an instant or in a single day, but He intended by this for the servants to learn to be deliberate in their work, to perfect their work, and not to be hasty. Then He rose above, meaning He knew, ascended, and settled upon the Throne, which is the ceiling of the created things. The Throne is established in the Book and the Sunnah and in the reports of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He), and none can describe it and its greatness except Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). Yes.
