Does the descent contradict the exaltation of Allah?

Question : The third question: Does it contradict the exaltation of Allah?

Answer : We affirm that it does not contradict it. Why? Because exaltation is an essential attribute, so He is Exalted above all creation. Even if He descends to the lowest heaven, He is Exalted above all creation just as He is with them, yet He remains in His exaltation. Do not compare the meanings that a word may imply regarding a human being to what applies to Allah of those meanings, due to the difference between the created and the Creator. Therefore, our position on this is to say that Allah truly descends to the lowest heaven when one-third of the last night remains, or the second part that begins from the middle, saying: "Who calls upon Me, so I will answer him, until its end."
