The Categories of Presence and the Doctrine of the Hululiyyah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner Ibrahim from Sudan says: How many categories are there of presence (mu'ayyah)? And what is meant by it? And there are those who say that Allah is present in every place.
Answer:
Those who say that Allah is present in every place are the Hululiyyah, and this is disbelief in Allah the Exalted. Rather, Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, is above His heavens, having risen above His Throne, Glorified and Exalted is He. So He is in the height. The height is an attribute of essence that does not separate from Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He. As for rising (istiwa'), it is an attribute of action that He does when He wills, Glorified and Exalted is He. Who says that Allah is in every place? This is the doctrine of the Hululiyyah, and this is disbelief in Allah the Exalted, because Allah is purified of that. They even think that Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, is in places of filth. Exalted is Allah above that. Therefore, the doctrine of the Hululiyyah became disbelief in Allah the Exalted, because they did not purify Allah the Exalted, and they did not affirm for Him the attribute of height. Yes.
