The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Some people say this phrase: "Allah, Glorified and Exalted, is in every place." When I tell them that this phrase is incorrect,
The Shaykh:
this speech is not permissible, this speech is not permissible. It is the speech of the Jahmiyyah, this is the speech of the Jahmiyyah. However, if he says "Allah is worshipped in every place," yes, Allah is worshipped in every place, or if he says "the knowledge of Allah is in every place," that is correct. But that Allah Himself is in every place, that is disbelief. That is the doctrine of the Jahmiyyah, and may Allah protect us from that. Allah is in the sky (Exalted and Majestic is He). Yes.
The questioner:
May Allah keep you safe. He says: If he says this phrase and we object to it, he says, "I meant his knowledge is in every place."
The Shaykh:
Yes, and sometimes he says "his knowledge is in every place." What does it mean to say "Allah is in every place"? Is there a difference between Allah and the knowledge? Yes.
